Map Showing Location of Mckinley, Robert uIdU
Topographer of the United Geological Survey.

scanned with hundreds and thousands
! of sharp gullies, and is cut by faVines
and canyons Ofttimes to a depth of a
thousand feet. 1t serves also as base
for innumerable peaks, some of which
rise to a height of from 1000 to 10000
feet. Running off to the right of the
great peak, and perhaps twenty-five
miles in length. is a glacier fed by the
ice and snow accumulations of centu-
ries.
The entire party agreed that as far
as human beings are concerned, the
mountain is absolutely inaccessi-
bic from the eastern side.
The whole Mckinley range gives an
impression of the greatest ruggedness,
and its outlines would be harsh III the
extreme We're they not tempered by
the soft white Of the snow which caps
all high peaks. Moreover, below the
snow line the slaty rock is covered by
the soft Alaskan MOSES, which lend
to all the mountains of Alaska d beau
tiful pale green color effect peculiarly
their own.
Observations on the Mckinley range.
and in particular on the great peak,
consumed only a short time. We
made a number of camera exposures,
but these proved to be complete fail
ures, presumably on account of the
intense Wilderness of the range. To
guard against such contingency 1
made a number of rough sketches, both
of the general landscape and of the
great peak. This done, we took a last
look at the great range and began
preparations for the long portage
across the divide to the Tanana.
We made start early on the morn
ing of the 18th of July, carrying with
us only absolutely necessary susie
nance and equipage: The journey
proved trying in the extreme. We
Travelled by slow and toilsome stages
for six weeks, and on no day did we
make progress far in excess of that
possible to an unencumbered man
walking on level ground in an hours
time.

APPROACHING MT. MK1NLEY


On the 9Th of July we found ourselves
at the mouth OF Indian creek, and at

and to take the So-called overland trail
for the Tanana. First, however, we
determined to pitch camp long enough
to make final observations on Mt Nc
hinley, and the great range which it
dominates.
We had sighted the great mountain
from near the mouth of the Sushitna,
and as we advanced up its course made
frequent observations with the transit
reading both horizontal and vertical
angles. From these readings and our
final observations, we determined the
height of the mountain to be 20, 464 feet.
or the highest peak on The North
American continent.
Our last observations on the great
peak were made from the top OF d
small range, some four Thousand feet
in height. This range lies near the
mouth of Indian creek, between the
Sush1tna and tine Chulitna rivers The
observation station was about nve
miles from the mouth of Indian
creek, and almost directly east of Mt.
Mckinley. For some little time we
were unable TO obtain a view of the
We could tell, however, that the top
OF the ridge commanded a magnificent
view of the whole range, and when the
winds had finally dispelled the clouds
we saw the whole eastern side of the
great range for a distance of perhaps
200 miles.
MAGNIFICENCE OF THE VIEW.
The panorama was one which 1 be-
neVe is unsurpassed for grandeur and
magnificence in the world. AS the air
became clearer we could see the range
stretching off perhaps $50 miles to the
southwest; its contour broken here
and there by jagged peaks which shot
thousands Of feet above the level of
the ridge. Some sixty miles away a
great fiat-topped peak rose $4,000 feet
above sea level. To the right of it was
a smaller, conicalshaped peak, perhaps
l5,0OO feet in height, while still farther
to the right, and about forty-f1ve miles
from our point of observation lowered
Mt Mckinley, whose peak, clad with
eternal SHOWS, looked down upon the
( surrounding waste and solitude from a
height of 2O,5OO feet.
Below us, and about ten miles awav,
the Chulitna river ran along the east
ern side of the great range, fed mostly
| from the glaciers formed on it's peaks.
