Our Colorado Letter
CHARLES M. HILLMAN.
coNr1NUED FROM LAST wEEK

CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK
Up thru the narrow ragged walls of
Hells Gate we 60 and enter the verdant
Ruxton and Aspen Parks, over which
Bald and Sheep Mountains stand as
silent sentinels; here, for two and one
quarter miles, a comparatively level
stretch is travelled and a good view of
the "Grand Old Mountains is had; and,
as we are almost directly under the sum-
NIT, we gain a better idea of the altitude
than any other point of view.
Our train now makes q stop of q few
minutes to replenish it's supply of water,
as we have before us the longest and
steepest incline on the road, winding
around the southern side of the noun
tains; as we ascend, the mountains
to the East seem to sink until they be-
come foothills, and our view to the East
and South becomes more extended. From
Inspiration Point We see far below us a
glacial lake covering ITO acres; glacial
rocks, upon which are marks showing
the unmistakable action of ice in ages
past; Mount Badly, Mount Garfield,
Bear Greek Cannon and the Southern
Mountains. After passing Timber Line
(l1,578 feet) we cross a great field of
broker rock, in which are small areas
where enough soil is found for some small
moss and many low Alpine plants to
find root; and where, in certain seasons,
there is a p~rofusion of these small flowers
which one would hardly expect no find
at 80 great an altitude.
When Windy Point is reached we get
our first western view and are but a short
distance from the summit, which is
reached in one and one-half hours after
leaving Manitou.
The world is now before us, and rare
indeed would be the art that could pic
ture to the soul, unaided by the sense of
sight, the unapproachable magnitude of
the view that nov greets the eve. Spread
put before us is a mighty panorama. To
the east is a confusion of buffalo plains,
streams and Towering fields, dotted over
with villages and cities. Colorado
Springs, Maniton and the Garden of the
Gods are at our feet, and look like flower
beds. 10 the South are Seven Lakes,
the Ration Mountainssof New Mexico and
the famous Spanish Peaks; the cities of
Pueblo, Florence, Canon City and Alt
man, the highest mining town in Colo
RADIO and the Arkansas Valley; Cripple
Creek and Bull Hill appear to be but a
stones throw, and the various mines,
settlements, cabins and busy railways
are plainly seen. To the west, protrud-
