This observation lies outside the range iNat has for this species. This could mean iNat's range is wrong, the ID is wrong, a vagrant occurrence, or a range expansion!

Everyone can see the coordinates unless the taxon is threatened.
Obscured
Public coordinates shown as a random point within 10KM of the true coordinates. True coordinates are only visible to you and the curators of projects to which you add the observation.
private
Coordinates completely hidden from public maps, true coordinates only visible to you and the curators of projects to which you add the observation. Observations with private coordinates will still be used to verify place check lists.
Description
Found these on the side of a hill on the west side of the park.
The tree on the right looks like some sort of pine... the one on the left could be Bigcone Douglas Fir... but I've never seen it naturally occur out of the steep mountains and canyons. It could be planted, of course.
One of my favorite southern California tree species.
I've seen these up Walnut Canyon in Eaton. I wasn't able to able to get very close to this one. I'll bug my Prof and see if he can help with the ID. The particular park this is from has been "restored", so I imagine that at least some of what I saw was intentionally put there.
The data quality assessment is a summary of an observation's accuracy. All
observations start as "casual" grade, and achieve
"research" grade when
the iNat community agrees with the observer's ID, where an "agreeing"
identification is one that matches exactly or is of a child taxon of the
observer's ID. For example, if Scott says it's a mammal and Ken-ichi
says it's Homo sapiens, then Ken-ichi agrees with Scott.
the observation has a date
the observation is georeferenced (i.e. has lat/lon coordinates)
the observation has a photo
Observations will revert to "casual" grade if the above conditions aren't met or
the community agrees the location doesn't looks accurate (e.g. monkeys in the middle of the ocean, hippos in office buildings, etc.)
the community agrees the organism isn't wild/naturalized (e.g. captive or cultivated by humans or intelligent space aliens)
