West Fork of Medicine Bow Creek. Five miles before reaching the river the Cherokee trail turns to the left, and crosses three miles above. Good camps on the river. Grass not plenty. Grass not abundant.
Cherokee trail leaves three miles back.
Grass gets better. The crossings of this creek were either bridged or paved by the troops in 1858. But little grass in this valley. Spring in the dry bed of the creek. Grass poor and water bad.
