reen and Colorado rivers free from canyons. Just abovethe mouth of Ashley Creek is the end of Split-MountainCanyon, the termination also of the first section of canyons,beginning with Flaming Gorge, and broken only by BrownsHole towards which the caravan is heading. ^ Fremont keptto the left or west of these gorges, camping high up on themountainside on the night of the 6th of June at an altitudeof 7300 feet, whence they had a view of the Colorado below,shut up amongst rugged mountains. He is hardly nearenough to any canyon to be looking into it, and I surmisehe sees the river in Island Park, a brief interval betweenWhirlpool and Split-Mountain canyons. It was in UintaValley (which extends from Split Mountain to the Canyon The canyons of the Colorado may be divided into five general groups:(i) from Flaming Gorge to Uinta Valley; (2) Uinta Valley to GunnisonCrossing; (3) Gunnison Crossing to the mouth of the Paria (Pahreeah); (4)the Paria to the Grand Wash; and 5, all below that point.

The Canyon of Lodore, Green River, Wyoming Fremont in 1844 passed just west of this canyon going north and at one point could look down into it. This canyon is twenty miles long and 2500 feet deep Photograph by E. O.

The Escalante account says 41° 19,but that would be in Green River Valley, which is out of thequestion. There is a mistake of one degree. After a pleasant journey, on May 7th, through beautifullittle valleys and a high mountain country (east end of theUinta Mountains) they descended at evening through asteep and rocky ravine into Browns Hole, now BrownsPark, the name having been changed by Major Powell forthe sake of euphony, and because the Hole is a fine park-like valley, and not a hole in any sense. I once met a pioneerwho was much nettled at what he c

Many visitors cannot understand why there are no fishin some of the lakes that, to their eyes, seem just as well 276 THE LAKE OF THE SKY —LAKE TAHOE adapted for fish as others that possess an abundance. Evenold timers do not all know the reason. If a lake is shal-low, when the deep snow falls it soon sinks below the sur-face in a heavy mushy mass that presses down upon the fishand prevents their breathing. Then, if a severe frost fol-lows and the mass freezes the ice squeezes the fish to thebottom. Over three years ago Watson took fish to BessieLake, putting in as many as 6000 fry of Lake Tahoe andother species. The next year, and the following years theywere all right, having grown to eight or nine inches inlength. Then came a severe winter and in the spring therewas not a living fish left. The bottom was strewn withthem, many of them with broken backs.

CHAPTER XXIX HUNTING AT LAKE TAHOE IN the chapter on the Birds and Animals of the TahoeRegion I have written of the game to be found. Thereare few places left in the Sierras where such good deer-and bear-hunting can be found as near Tahoe. During thedense snow-falls the deer descend the western slopes, ap-proaching nearer and nearer to the settlements of the upperfoothills, and there they do fairly well until the snow be-gins to recede in the spring. They keep as near to the snowline as possible, and are then as tame and gentle almost assheep. When the season opens, however, they soon flee tocertain secret recesses and hidden lairs known to none butthe old and experienced guides of the region. There areso many of these wooded retreats, however, and the Tahoearea is so vast, that it is seldom an expert goes out for deer(or bear) that he fails. Hence the sportsman is always as-sured of something worth while. As for bear I have told elsewhere of recent hunts on Mt.iFreel from Tallac, and
