ety of colors to be seen. It is broad pass and the scenery on all sides is most beautiful Some eight miles be- yond the east fork. the route comes to the main Toklat River and crosses an open flat to the north side of Di- vide Mountain. Herds of caribou range all through these passes and the sheep are still clinging to the mountansides. but are not as numerous as along Igloo Creek and Sable Mountain.
 VIEW OF MT. MCKINLEY
 Another eight.mile pass continu. ing southwest to the headwaters of stony Creek is called Highway Pass and from Stony Creek, after short climb over d low ridge, the trail leads from the head of Thorofare Creek down the stream to Mckinley River.
 From the head of Thorofarc Creek the view of Mt Mckinley cannot be surpassed and if one continues toward the great mountain it's grandeur is impressive at all times, its white hulk rising between the nearer dark hills.
 AT MULDRoW GLACIER
 As the route follows downstream along Mckinley Fork. the broad gla- cial stream gradually narrows down to pass in front of the Muldrow Gla, cicr, whose great ian spreads over the flat for several miles This gla- cial ian is completely covered with vegetation along the river and unless the traveller k informed of it, he does not know he is passing over one of the largest glaciers in the country The peculiar formation and contour of the fan has earned for it the local ap- prIlatiom of the Crazy Hills which are nothing more than distorted ice coy. cred by gravel dirt and vegetation In front of the glacier the river mar rows down to a canyon and for about two miles the trail necessarily follows along above the bluffs on the northern side to descend again near the lower end Of the canyon From this point on. the river widcus out and the bed is from one 10 two miles widc the river flowing west ro point we'll be-. youd the Wonder Lake trail where it crosses fine park boundary.
