Description:
Plate 294. WHITE PINE CREEK PAVANT MOUNTAINS 1962-2000 Viewed southwest across the head of White Pine Creek to White Pine Peak (10,215 ft) in the Pavant Mountains. This area was contour-trenched, gully-plugged, and reseeded by the Forest Service to control erosion. Shown in the retake is USFS Road 096. Conifers have increased, but aspen has not regenerated due to excessive browsing by wild and domestic ungulates. The shrubs are snowberry, currant, and big sage.
