In much of its range, the presence of pinyon mice is dependent upon the presence of rocks or rocky slopes and upon the presence of pinyon-juniper or chaparral.
In San Luis Potosi, pinyon mice are found at the bases of rocky slopes, often in dense growths of prickly pear and yucca (Dalquest, 1953); in Durango they live in rocky areas from the Douglas-fir-aspen belt to the rocky arroyos bordering grassy plains (Baker and Greer, 1962).
Pinyon mice in areas of open country, as in the pinyon-juniper-rock association, have short tails, large ears, and large bullae.

 Pinyon pine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The pinyon pines (or piñon pines), are a group of pines, which grow in the southwestern United States and Mexico; they yield edible pinyon nuts, which were a staple of the Native Americans, and are still widely eaten.
It is very important for regeneration of pinyon woods, as it stores large numbers of the seeds in the ground for later use, and excess seeds not used are in an ideal position to grow to form new trees.

 Mt. Potosi, Carole Lonbard Crash Site
Potosi is now closed to the public, so the route starts low in Cottonwood Valley on the east side of Mt. Potosi.
Other than the standard warnings about hiking in the desert,...this is a tough hike on a steep, rocky mountain, but other than falls and loose rocks, there are no unusual hazards.
Potosi is a mining district, and there are several mines along the access road, but remember: mines are never safe to enter.

This bird is found in western North America from British Columbia and western Alberta in the north to Baja California and western New Mexico in the south.
The most important food resources for this species are the seeds of pines (Pinus sp.), principally the two cold-climate (high altitude) species of white pine (Pinus subgenus Strobus) with large seeds P. albicaulis and P. flexilis, but also using other high-altitude species like P. balfouriana, P. longaeva and P. monticola.
The isolated Cerro Potosí population is strongly associated with the local endemic Potosi Pinyon Pinus culminicola.

 Bridge Mountain, Potosi Mountain
The trail heads east up a ridge through the juniper and pinyon pine forest for about a mile to reach the major ridgecrest running north and south.
Bridge Mountain is almost due east at 95 degrees with Rainbow Mountain and Mt. Wilson the sandstone mountains rising in the southeast.
We took this trail over to the Potosi Mine (shown on the map) and explored the mine before continuing up the ridge and rejoining route A about 100 meters above the point where we left the route.

The easternmost place of capture was in a man-made wall of volcanic rock 26 miles southwest of Yervanis, where open grassland plains are the dominant features of the landscape (Baker and Greer, 1962) *13*.
In Coahuila, these mice live in rocky situations where juniper, pinyon, and yucca provide the principal vegetative cover but they are also found in juniper-cactus, pinyon-juniper and yellow pine, and yucca-mesquite associations (Baker, 1956) (Hoffmeister, 1986) *04*.
Although it may prefer foothills where juniper, pinyon, oak, or other shrubby vegetation occurs, the species has been reported from 1,829 - 3,110 m in open valleys, cultivated land, grassland, yucca-mesquite, humid sub-tropical forest, and cool coniferous forest on mountain-tops.

 Potosi Mountain, Clark Mountains
Some people go to great lengths to avoid my trips (not that I blame them - I'd like to avoid some myself), but when your assistant leader gets married to avoid one, it might be time to re-evaluate.
This was a sizable turnout considering that we outdrew the trip in Death Valley and that one of the peaks (heaven forbid!) was out of state.
Again after only one group U turn we were off through the pinyon to the north face of Potosi.
