Retakes of Darton 1599 and 1600; 8/5/98. In both views, the vegetation density appears similar, except that Darton's views are taken later in the year when the tall parts of the grasses seem to have been grazed down. Many Juniper trees have been established on the flanks of Cerro Verde since 1917, and the clouds have become much more pretty. Modern vegetation consists of snakeweed, Alkali Sacaton, and Gramma grass.
