solid ground. The Giant geyser and
| Castle geyser are two large geysers
| on this formation
THE Yosemite may be more beauti-
| full. but there can be nothing more
| mysterious and awe-inspiring than
| these immense geysers and hot springs.
| The Norris Geyser basin has features
not to be found in the others The
Black GROWER can be heard mile
away 1t is like a powerful steam
engine, just ready to explode. The
Whirligig, The Hurricane, and The
| Whirligig, The HHurricane, and The
| Monarch is the largest geyser on this
formation. Everywhere you walk on
hot springs. The greatest of the hot
springs and the most beautiful for
| nations in the Park, is the Mammoth
Hot Spring. The beauty of these ter
races can never be told or pictured.
| The altitude of the spring is 6215
feet The hot water deposits else
| where in the Park are silicious, while
these are of calcareous origin. Every
color imaginable is to be seen either
| in the Springs or the formations on
| the terraces. You look in amazem ent
| almost unbelief, at the Jupiter Ter
race, Hymen Terrace, Minerva Ter
RAGE, Cleopatra Terrace and others. I
regretted having to leave the Mann
| moth Hot Springs. 1t appealed to me
more than anything else in the Park
people are very enthusiastic about the
river. They are very beautiful.
we saw hundreds of elk grazing on
the hills; one head of buffalo, a NUM-
Der of deer, a few coyotes, snow-shoe
rabbits and bear at every stopping
place where they come to get some
thing to eat. One evening one came
up to the kitchen door, and of course
everyone left the dining room and ran
for the kodaks. Several of the tour
lists fed him. The 8 year old boy in
| our party thought he was quite hero
when the bear ate from his hand.
Many chapters would fail to tell
all the wonders of beauty contained
in these two parks. One tourist on
leaving the parks, quoted the an
clent Roman saying, See Rome, then
you can die'-as there was nothing
greater to gee. I do not agree; rather
1 would say: See the Yosemite and
the Yellowstone and you will at once
begin planning for another and more
extended visit
