. Tour of the continent : Colorado, California & Yellowstone National Park : special train, personally conducted via New York Central & Hudson River and connecting lines . upon itsbosom the sacred symbol of Christianity. Then entering the Eagle River Canon. Cliffs ofvari-colored rocks, with lofty pinnacles seeming to reachthe sky, pierced on every side with mining shafts, and withthe miners buildings hanging from every cliflf. Canon of the Grand River. Here is a field of study for the student of geology. Theearthquake and volcano have left evidence of their power ;strata on strata rise to a stupenduous height, beside whichthe Pyramids of the Nile would appear as ant-hills. It is a veritable icaleidoscopic panorama in its everchanging forms and colors, the wonder of the one whosees, and the despair of the one who wishes to tell otherswhat he saw. After a ride of most thrilling interest, weemerge from the last tunnel of the canon of the Grand River,and before us lies Glenwood Springs in the center of a large park, 5200 feet above the sea scenery in the vicinity of Glenwood Springs is wonder-fully varied and in every aspect extremely CANON OF THE GRAND RIVER. Near at hand is the famous swimming pool, covering overan acre, formed by the warm springs that burst from themountain sides. When crossing the Green River, if on the south sideof the car, you may see between the mountains the brokenwall of the Grand Canon of the Colorado, the most fearful chasm in the world. Beyond the Green River begins theascent of the Wasatch Mountains. At the entrance of theCastle Canon stands two towering sand stone shafts, whichrise to a height of 500 feet, just wide enough to allow thetrain to pass ; the canon which follows, is another ofsublime beauty.
