This ravine is used frequently by moose coming down to water. is practically all igneous, a good deal of obsidian is present, and in places, particularly along the canon sides, the rock is arranged in typical basaltic columns. Very little granite is found except for occasional bowlders which lie in the river beds. The country apparently used by the moose is along the tops and sides of the foothills. The lower hills are covered by a growth of inferior pine, mostly scrubby and low, or where this has been burned off by old forest fires it is replaced by a thick tangle of bull-pine. The tops of the higher mountains are for the greater part naked, except for a few scattering weather-beaten pines. The sides of the less precipitous mountains, and in places the tops as well, show patches of bayberry bush and a good deal of quaking asp, interspersed with thickets of bull-pine. Lower down, where the sides of the mountain are not too precipitous, a growth of larger pine is found extending into the canons. The bayberry and quaking asp are seen only well up on the sides or on the tops of the mountains. The declivities are marked by rocky gullies, which become of considerable size before they break into the main caiion. The lower levels often show a considerable growth of the low blue-.
