Text Appearing Before Image:
ed spruces grow, and addto its attractiveness. Yet, as though Nature meant to teach that a bit ofmotion—a suggestion of glee was needed to relieve the somberness of utterimmobility and grandeur, however shapely—she has led to the sunlight, by acrevice in the upper part of the eastern wall that we cannot see, a brisk tor-rent draining the snowfields of some distant plateau. This little stream,thus beguiled by the fair channel that led it through the spruce woods above,has no time to think of its fate, but is flung out over the sheer precipiceeighty feet into the valley below. We see the white ghost of its descend-ing, and always to our ears is murmured the voice of the Naiads who arctaking the breathless plunge. Yet by what means the stream reaches thatpoint from above cannot be seen, and the picture is that of a strong jet ofwater bursting from an orifice through the crimson wall, and falling into rain-bow-arched mist and a tangle of grateful foliage that hides its furtherflowing.
Text Appearing After Image:
CURRECANTI NEEDLE. Around the Circle. 31 Resuming the railroad journey at Ouray, the traveler will find much tointerest him in the run past Ridg^vay, where the Rio Grande Southern con-nects with the Denver & Rio Grande, to Montrose, where the main line isagain reached, and, with faces turned once more to the eastward, the home-ward segment of the circle is entered upon, and the greatest wonders ofall this wonderful journey lie before. From Cerro Summit a fine view can behad of the Uncompahgre Valley, its river, and the distant peaks of the SanJuan and Uncompahgre ranges of mountains. Cimarron Canon is enteredshortly after leaving Cerro Summit, the road following this canon down Cim-arron Creek to where it empties into the Gunnison river. Here begins thetourists experience in the world-renowned Black Canon of the Gunnison.The name is a misnomer. There is nothing black about the canon exceptthe shadows of the towering granite walls. The cliffs themselves show brightand happy colors.
