	Planning & Management
		The impacts to vegetation communities would be negligible due to the large areas nearby of similar alpine vegetation.
		Sable Mountain is an important park wilderness destination, however, and installation of a facility there, while perhaps not a major action, would have a moderate adverse impact to visitor expectations and to their wilderness experience, and a site with fewer impacts has been identified.
		Double Mountain is a park wilderness destination, but the installation of facilities there would have only a negligible adverse impact on wilderness expectations and wilderness experience because the location is virtually inaccessible and invisible to park users and because the facility would be so small.

	California Thirteeners
		In contrast, the elevation list file really needs accurate locations, as these essentially replace points in the DEM data, and it is therefore these locations that become the official summit locations in the output.
		Other expected differences included elevations in the DEMs that exceed surveyed summit elevations (sometimes in locations a few hundred meters away), but these are all addressed via elevation corrections in the elevation list file.
		UTM682547 fell off the list because RidgeWalker found a point 4132m high on the west end of the summit ridge, 200m away from where the high point (4129m) is marked on the quad.

		Although it is a very dry year, the upper parts of the canyon contain a few annuals that are flowering including Mohavea confertiflora, Camissonia cardiophylla, and various species of Phacelia; plus, many of the perennials of the canyon and the lower bajada are also in flower such as Prosopis glandulosa, Larrea tridentata, and Hyptis emoryi.

		The profound nonconformable unconformity of the Precambrian with the overlying Paleozoic is clearly recognizable in all exposures in the Franklin Mountains.

		The method used for this list is to choose all named ranges shown on the 7.5 minute maps with the designations: Ranges, Mountains (plural), and Sierra.
		The Kaibab Mountains and the Oro Blanco Mountains were deleted since these are poorly defined and no mention of these names appears on the latest maps.
