Alder Gulch 2.2 miles above Virginia City, Montana. Plate 68b (July 28, 1981) 110 years later. The large Douglas-fir in foreground-left (arrow) is the same pictured in the original scene. Regeneration of Douglas-fir and Rocky Mountain juniper on this slope has produced a marked change. Canyon bottom now supports various shrubs and trees, including aspen, narrow leaf cottonwood, willow, and chokecherry. North slope is densely covered by Douglas-fir. Photograph by G. E. Gruell.
