Location Narrative |
The stand is located on the side of a dry draw that runs N from the saddle on the High Peaks Trail. The dry draw runs down & connects with Condor Gulch. This site is on the original 1908 Monument land. The area looks disturbed, possibly from visitor use, even though it is off the trail. Macrotopography 09 (other) = saddle between 2 ridges. May be Selaginella-Lichen Alliance. The plot is a Selaginella stand on bedrock. There are some BREV rocks on the N border of the stand. There are no distinguishing characteristics in the plot except a small boulder in the center. The stand has a S-facing aspect.
