WlldneSs and frozen adornment.
About twenty years ago, led by my
friend John Muir, I had a summer trip
afoot from Summit Station, by way of
Andersons Peak and Squaw Valley, to
Lake Tahoe. On that trip we were for
two days high up on the range, $500 to
5000 feet above Tahoe, the lake having an
elevation of $500 feet. That was hne and
most inspiriting mountain ramble. I
have Just made this same trip on snow,
shoes, reversing the route. Accompanied
by three mountaineers and fine snow
shoers, Robert Watson, James McNutt and
George Honsucker Jr., l left Lake Tahoe
at Wards Creek, and went through the
canyon of the same name and over a low
pass into Deer Park Canyon, where snow,
rain and murky weather detained US in
On the second day we assembled the range,
on glorious bracing winter morning,
with superabundance of white every
where, in wealth of sunlight and snow
glitter, but with strong contrast of color
also from the coniferous woods, the color
OF which, always somber, became almost
black-a soft and velvety black-by COM
The ascent was to me very slow and tire
some work, but it abundantlv repaid one for
the effort. Starting at night, we reached
the summit, at an elevation Of 5000 feet, at
O'Clock, on great plateau entirely treeless,
because OF naked granite surfaces in sum-
mer time, but now richly embossed in
white. Surrounding it were trees, but not
the noblest in point Of height and girth-
the elevation and exposure were too great
for that; but the trees were eminently
hardy, and, therefore, noble specimens of
their species. But the view-the wonder
fully varied panorama, rather-was what
made the scene worth any price of money
or effort. 1t was one glorious succession
OF scenic pictures never to be forgotten.
The views embraced widespread snow
fields, high mountains-at one point four
teen summit ridges were in sight-thickly
strewn, deep woods, by their shade dark

closed in as narrow detiles: calm, in
tensely blue skies, frequently fieeced with
drawn out white cirrus clouds, and such
vast vistas as to suggest boundless dis
tances and boundless land.
These were the main features of the
high mountain, sub-Arctic-like scenes
through which we passed. The main
submits were 1000 to 1900 feet above US.
The vast succession Of plateaus, canyons
and ridges showed the details which 90
