Description:
Plate 1397X. High Mountain 1909 – 2006 Viewed northeast from High Mountain across the head of Lake Creek. Navajo Point (10,575 ft) is on the right center, while Brian Head (11,307 ft) is just visible on the far right. Conifers have increased, while aspen has declined. Most aspen stands have not regenerated in many years due to excessive ungulate herbivory (Kay and Bartos 2000). Plates 1397x to 1400x form a panorama from left to right.
