As we move on west of Fort Steele, we can see on the north side theoutcropping beds of sandstone. About three miles west of the NorthPlatte this ridge gradually bends off toward the northwest. The cre-taceous clays of No. 4 are Aveathered so that the surface has a smoothlyrounded appearance, and the anticlinal beds expand out into a broadplain. The anticlinal extends a little east of south toward Pass erosive forces seem to have come from the southeast, between thedetached fragments of the Medicine Bow range, and extended acrossthe country toward the northwest. West of Fort Steele the road passesalong an anticlinal valley for about two miles ; it then enters a mono-clinal valley and continues for six or eight miles; then it cuts throughcretaceous ridges which incline northeast. Before reaching EawlingssSprings the red beds are exposed on the north side of the road about amile distant. These anticlinals seem to pass across the interveningcountry, connecting the ranges of moun
