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.

Aurora, one of them, reportedshortly afterwards that she was engaged with the enemy, so Beattyshaped his course to get bet
