rushing mountain streams that mock
human effort with their rapids and
cataracts as they hurry on in eternal
melody. Whatever else may be said
of the Beartooth's their scenery can be
described only by superlatives for in
point of sublime scenic beauty it is
doubtful if their equal can be found
anywhere else in the known world.
The lover of nature who stands en-
tranced in the midst of many hued
flowers and luxurious vegetation on
summer day has but to lift his eyes to
behold majestic mountain peaks with
their eternal caps of snow. Nature
doesn't whisper there, she yells aloud
and the evidences of her in her widest
humors are too frequent and tremen-
dous for flippant description. There
the primeval world is before one and
rare indeed would be the art that
could picture to the soul unaided by
the sense of sight the unapproachable
magnitude of the view that greets the
bewildered eye.
Massive walls of granite rise from
murmuring streams almost perpendic-
ularly to the sky above. Their bold
and rugged cliffs and pinnacles are
split by never ending battle with the
elements. Their lofty domes and tow
ers stand alone unsupported after
centuries of upheavel and commotion
inconceivable to man. Here is the far
stretches, the birthplace of Rock
Creek that foaming brook of crystal
waters, long famous as the home of
the speckled trout 1t heads in the
deeply wooded recesses of the noun
tains beyond and with fretful muir
muring melody glides among the mos
sy logs and boulders strewn in its
path and beneath the flowers and
ferns and bushes arched above it.
At first it's course is through some
solitary glen deep in the shadows Of
the gray old trees, the keepers of the
past ages where the wanderer may
; find supreme rest and undisturbed
) commune with Nature. 1t then flows
forth into the sunlight winding its
way through some open glade carpetet
with the most beautiful flowers of ev.
: cry tint and hue which laden the al,
with the sweetest perfume 1t is ready
now to wave greeting to Richie
Lodge and it is unique in being the
.. only thing that ever passes without
, stopping.
