• The green of the ranches was encircled by a greasewood-covered plain that, toward the river, became rock covered and rough so that a wagon was out of the question and the sturdy pack horses themselves could move but slowly Jim's first view of the Makon Canyon was of a black rift in a rough brown sea of sand, with a blue gray sky above. —  Still Jim
• Steadily it climbed to the hilltops, masticating sage, greasewood, oak, sycamore and manzanita with the same ease it bolted houses and pavements. —  Greener Than You Think
