The following check list is based on a report prepared by Kevin Christensen, Chris Lounsberry, and Jack Sengl, the self-styled "Botanical Dream Team", in partial fulfillment of the requirements of Botany 221, Plants of Utah.  The identifications have been checked by Barkworth and specimens will be deposited in the Intermountain Herbarium. 

Crimson Trail ranges in elevation from 5200-5900 ft and is 3.4 miles in length.  The initial portion is steep, up a west-facing slope that is rocky, dry, and has little shade.  This is followed by a relatively level stretch along a north facing slope which has a moderate degree of shade and features a variety of trees, shrubs, and grasses.  The last portion has a northeastern exposure and is the shadiest and most moist portion of the trail.  It features a dense underbrush of both flowering plants and bryophytes. All collections were made between July 6 and 13, 1998.
