Salmon Hole 1/29

Since I was last at Salmon Hole, the biggest change has been the snow cover. There were roughly four inches of wet snow pack, making it easy to see animal tracks, but hard to find any visible scat (though there was lots of yellow snow). Several mid to large-sized animal tracks were visible, including deer and domestic dogs. There were two different bird chirps that I could hear, but none were visible. While 90% of the plant life was dead, there were green grasses and moss growing in the cracks of the rocks, and berries growing on some mid-story bushes. The water close to the rock shore was frozen, and many high-traffic spots became icy in the main area.
