Plate 315 is viewed north over the head of Pine Creek to Gold Mountain (11,650 ft). The area no longer is grazed by domestic sheep and plant cover in the foreground has increased. Conifers, primarily spruce, have increased in height and numbers, but treeline appears unchanged. Cat trails and other mining activity are visible in the retake.
