south and east slopes covered with pinyon woodland, Pinus monophylla, and scrub
oak, Quercus turbinella. Within the
area are two rare plants, the recently described Eriogonum ericifolium var.
thornei and Astragalus cimae var. cimae. The
former is known only from a very small site within the area. The fauna is typical of the high Mojave. The Panamint
chipmunk, Eutamias panamintinus, though common here, is near the southern limits
of its range. In the canyon there is a spring. Integrity: Wining
has occurred and there are dirt roads in the area. Use: Educational,
