Site Description

The Location of our site was at Eaton Canyon down the trail about half a mile.  When we were walking towards the mountain it was about a ten minute hike.  In all directions our site was approximately twenty feet.  We saw a bird, snake, spider, and another unidentified habitat.  The trees were understory type trees and the land around us was very dry. Including lots of shrubs and twigs.  The feel of the area was very quiet and there was animal noises and the sound of the wind blowing.  Some of the plants we saw were Agave, Cliff aster, Fleabane Aster, Black Cottonwood, and Deerweed. There were sticks on the ground and dried up plants around us.  On the way up to our site there were a lot of very pokey bushes that had no leaves, just branches.  One of the animals we saw most was the Fence Lizard, which is very common around the canyon.  Some of the other animals we saw were bees and butterflies.  We heard signs of birds but did not see any.  We saw signs of other animals because we saw the homes they made but again did not see them so we were not sure what species had made them.
