ter years was made famous as q
resort of deperadoes. On the
bleak pass overlooking the Hole
and led valley and in the can
yon of the Hole, it is there that
the monuments merge into an
almost continuous wall.
The earliest explorers of this
region noted these monuments
and the trail, then apparently
as ancient and sunken as at the
present day. The Indians did
not know the origin of the trail,
but had many superstitions con-
corning it. One that it had
been used as a highway by gods
who reigned at the beginning
of the world, did not prevent
their taking advantage of the
easy travel it afforded. Even
today the monuments are sew
eral feet in height, and during
the times that the trail was
most Travelled must have been
imposing piles.
