RADIO.
The tract included by the proclama'
ton is situated on the south slope and
near the summit Of the continental
divide at an elevation of approximate
ly 1850 feet above sea level.
The principal value of the land as
national monument lies in the fact
that the fantastic forms resulting from
the rapid erosion of rock and soil
make the spot one of exceptional
beauty.
The numerous winding canyons, bro
ken ridges, pinnacles and buttes form
such striking and varied scenes that
il will be much visited by tourists
when 1t has been made accessible by
road or trail.
