GRAND CANON OF COLORADO,
REPORT OF COL POWELL'S EXPLORING
EMIIIMEI
We take the followiri extracts from
the report of Cul. Powell, the Colorado
explorer ; who has just, returned to his
home in Illinois :
My great purpose was to explore
for myself this wonderful curiosity—
the grand Canon of Colorado. With
this end in view •I came from the
modntains to .Chicago last spring to
procure outfit and build beats. Four
of these were made pti.a model devis
ed for, the purpose of navigating canon
streams; and. taking them out to
Green River Station, where the Union
Pacific Railroad crosses the Green, I
'was ready to embark.' .There I had a
party of nine men awaiting my arri
val and anxious to enter the "great
unknown" with me—men all experi
enced in the wild life of the country,
and most of them in boating on dang
erous streams. On the 24th of May
we started. For a few days our way
was through a river of low canons and
small green valleys, until wo reached
the Uintah Mountains. Through this
range the river has cut a winding
channel, forming the Uintah system
of canons. Near the lower end of this
series Yampa river enters the Green
by a canon. Farther down, in a. val
ley portion of the river, the Uintah
and White come in. Below this point
about thirty miles we enter still an
other series. Low walls of gray, b l uff
and rust-colored sandstone shut us in.
These walls slowly increase in" height
as we advance. The gray rocks arc
lost; dark led sandstones appear; the
walls are broken down by lateral ca
tions, increasing in number until we
are in the heart of the "Canon of De
solation." Sometimes these lateral
canons are so crowded that the rock
between them stands as a narrow wall,
hundreds of feet high, the end toward
the main canon. Some lateral cantina
have their own lateral canons—a third
series—cutting the walls into sections,
whose towering summits, though large
enough to support. cathedrals, seem
scarcely to furnish looting fur a man.
Two thousand feet—three thousand
feet over-head is the summit of the
walls, while rocks and crags and peaks
rise higher, and still higher away
back from the river, until they reach
an altitude of nearly 5000 feet. These
rusty gray, and dark red sand-stones
have no beauty of color. A lbw green
ish gray cedars are seen, looking not
like pyramids of evergreen spray, but
like clumps of knotty war clubs, be
decked with spines. These, with a lit
tle sage, constitute all the verdure.
We next ran through Coal Canon,
and passed the mouth of Little White
river, then a valley region, passed the
mouth of the San Rafael, and we en
ter Sfill Water Canon. The river
winds through this with a quiet cur
rent as if in no haste to leave this
beautiful canon carved out of the or
ange sandstone. All along its walls
domed alcoves and amphitheatres have
been cutout of the solid rock; grottoes
and ca7es abound, the narrow lateral
canons, chaunels of rivulets, born of a
shower and born again of a shower,
are cut as clefts in the rocks, and 'at
every curve on the inner side is a spot
of willow-bordered meadow. Thee
the walls grow higher, the river
swifter, and we glide around to the
junction of the Grand and Green.—
"lure the walls aro nearly thirteen
hundred feet high. But away hack
from the river aro lateral canons and
canon valleys, the floors of which aro
about the same altitude as the
ato walls of the main canon, and the
walls of this upper set are hundreds
of feet high. Lateral to the second
there is often a third series, with floors
at a greater altitncle than theloors of
the second; thep the country back is
cut into a labyrinth of canons. The
main walls at thejunction are pot ver
tical, but have the slope of broken
rocks tumbled dew!), while the later
al canons have mostly vertical walls
with a sloping talus pt the base. We
remained at this point several days,
thou rowed opt into Cataract Canon.
§qm we heard the roar of watersiand
came upon a succession of rocky rap
ids and , cataracts; over some of these
wo were compelled to make portages;
usually only the cargoes were carried
over the rocks, , and the boats were
let down 'with lines, but now and then
boats and all had to.be carried. When
these rapids and cataracts were,,unob
strurted by rocks, or where there was
any passage, we wore able to run
them, never finding any fall greater
than nineteen feet in this etinon.—
Sometimes the waves below would
roll over a
,boat and fill the open part,.
but they could not sink it, as each one
was decked fore 'and aft, and so had a
water-tight cotnpartnient — at " either
end. Now and then a bbut would roll
over, but clinging to its sides until
they could right it, the men would
swim to the shore, towing it with
them.
We found much difficulty in the
.whirlpools below. It was almost im
possible to get out of them at times.
They would carry us back under the
falls, dash us against the rocks or send
whirling down the river. For twelve
days we toiled through this canon,
stopping once to measure the altitude
of its, walls .near the highest points,
and finding it nearly 2500 feet. This
Was at the axis of a vast fold in the
strata, and from that point the upper
rocks slowly came down with a gentle
dip to the southwest until we reached
the foot of the canon, forty-five miles
from its head. A rocky valley canon
was found here on the left, and , the
river -made a bond around a sharp
point on the right, which point was
set with ten thousand crags and rag
ged rocks. We culled it Mille-crag
_Bend, and sweeping around this in a
rapid current our bouts shot into Nar
row Canon, down which we glided at
almost railroad speed, the walls rising
vertically from the water 1300 feet
high at its head, and coming down to
high water-mark at the fo'ot, seven
miles below, where the Dirty Devil, a
river of mud, entered from the right.
Now wo had come again to the red
and orange sandstone, and the walls
wore of beautiful bright rock, low at
first, but, as we cut down through the
strata, rising higher and higher. Nnw
and thenron this and that side, the
rocks werti vertical from the water's
edge; but usually they were cut into
mounds,.and cones, and hills of solid
sandstone, rising one above the other
as they stretched back in a. gentle
slope for miles. These mounds have
been cut out•by the showers from the
bright orange rock, and glittar in re
splendent beautyg under the mid day
sun. Hour after hour we gazed en
tranced on them as they faded in the
perspective and retreated to the rear,
fur the rivers was gentle though swift,
and we had but to steer our boats; and
on we went through this land of beau
ty and glory. --
On the 31st of July wo reached the
mouth of the San Juan, at the foot of
Mound Canon, and wont into camp
for a day or two's rest. Then we
started again. We had now run once
more into the dark red and chocolate
colored sandstones, with slate colored
beds below; these usually formed ver
tical walls, occasionally terraced or
broken down, and from the crest of
these the orange mounds sloped buck,
but variegated by monuments, now
vertical, now terraced, now worn in
steep slopes; others still combining
these forms and set with towers and
pinnacles. These monuments stood
alone or in groups, and spread over
the landscape as far as the eye cold
reach. The little valley of Paria Riv
er terminates this canon, milting it
about 100 miles long. IV° named it
MonnmcntCanon. Here the river had
cut through the sandstones and reach
ed the limestones below, the same ge
ological formation as that of Cataract
Canon, and as we advanced the chan
nel was cut into those now strata.—
We entered between walls low, but
vertical, that gradually increased in
altitude to the foot, where they were
2900 feet high, terraced and broken
into crags above. llalf way down the
canon we found the lower strata ap
pearing as marble; they were white,
and gray, and slate colored, then pink
and purple, and brown, and other stra
ta variegated with these colors, until
at last we had four hundred feet of
mat ble walls, mostly vertical from the
water's edge. These were fretted by
the waters, embossed with strange de
vices, and polished into beauty. Where
there were patches of marble floor.left
bare by low water, basins have been
carved out by the whirlpools of the
flood season, - and were filled with
pools of clear water in beautiful con
trast to the red mud of the river. Cool
springs gushed from the rocks, spark.
ling, foaming cascades plunged into
marble fonts, and in contrast to these
after every shower, cascades of red
mud poured over the walls from the
red sandstone above, with a fall of
hundreds of feet. Wo called this Mar
ble canon; it tortninated at the mouth
of the Little Colorado, and was about
thirty-six miles long.
Mere a short rest,.and then we pull
ed on the homestretch—not a very
short one, either—nearly 300 miles by
river to mouth of the Virgin, The low
er members of this carboniferous for
matiOn are of dark, rust-colored sand
stones, sometimes almost black. We
soon ran through these, and through
siluri-,n red sandstone, and about fif
teen miles below the mouth of the
Little Colorado struck the grauite.—
From the mouth of that stream to the
Mouth of the Virgin, opr objective
point, the general course of the river
is to the west; but it makes three
great curves to the south, uud three
corresponding curves to the north.—
At the extremity of the southern
.curves the wall are granite at the base,
reaching to an altitude of 800 feet.—

ragged crags; then a sloping ,terrace,
100 to,soo.yards wide Ohm' walls of,
sandstone and marble towering 200,0 r
300 feet toward the heavens. In the
northern: bends ' the 1 marble conies
down to the water's edge. In the
southern bends \ the river_runs ranging
through a narrow gorge filled
,with.
,rapids and cataracts, often falling at a
plunge from sto 20 feet,' the greatest
being 22 feet. ' Over these `weusually
had to run, as the granite walls rarely
gave foothold, though some portages
were made. The roar of the cataract
could always be heard for half a mile
or more, so that we never came upon
them unapprised of danger. In the
ISst great bend•to the south, we came
upon a series of cataracts and rapids
crowded together into a distance of
three-fourths of a mile; a stream came
down through a narrow canon on
either side, and above their mouths
we found a foothold to land; so, we
stopped to examine, •
On the river there seemed to be great
danger, and no portage could bo made.
Coming on in the morning, the day
was spent in exploring and' trying- to
decide some method of getting over
the difficulty.. I fourid that' we could
climb to the summit of the•granito 800
feet high, and, passing along the ter
race, could descend 'to a point below;
but it would require ten days to get
our boats and cargoes over, and we
had scant five days' rations. When I
returned to camp at night, I announ
ced to the men that• we must attempt
to run it. After supper one of them
came to me and asked if I was willing
that ho and two others should leave
the river and walk out over the moun
tains; they thought that •.they could
climb oat of the,_eanon, up the channel
of the right hand - creek. Of course I
objected, but they were determined
to go. An hour's talk failed to shake
their resolution ; so I sat up all night,
made observations for the latitude and
longitude of = that point, and then
walked up and down a little sand
beach until morning. On the morrow
they were still in mind to go, and I
hastily fitted out the little party with
guns, ammunition, and a small store
of rations. In the meantime those go.
ing down the river were ready td start.
Not being abli3 to man it, flied up one
of the boats and abandoned it.
When all was ready we shook hands
and some tears: were :started;lts each
party thought the other was going to
destruction.' -"Good bye," and away
went our boats over.the first cataract;
then among the rocks, and over the
second to the left of a huge rock and
whirlpool, and over the third, and shot
into an eddy below. The boats were
half-filled with water, but that had
happened many times before; we re
ally found it less dangerous than a
hundred we had run above. The par
ty that was left sat on- the cliffs and
watched us over, and we went into
camp and waited two hours, hoping
they would join us with the boat lett
tied to the rocks above; but-we never
saw them again, and they are yet un
heard from. The names of these men
were, O. G. Howland, S. Howland and
W. 11. Dunn. That afternoon we
passed one more dangerous rapid, and
then. had fair sailing to the foot, where
the river debouched into Mormon Val
ley, so named by - our party.
This ended the exploration of the
Grand Canon of the Colorado; its head
at the confluence of the Little Colora
do, its foot at the entrinicie of the river_
to Mormon valley--its length about
238 miles, its altitude from 2500 to
4000 feet A number of clear streams
flow in from either side; the largest
coming down from the Buckskin
Mountains on the north, which we
named Right Angle River. I have
mentioned the terraces of the southern
bends; these have been sites of ancient
Indian villages inhabited by a race of
diminutive people now almost extinct.
Their little cluster of houses found on
the south side of the river were 800
or 1000 feet above the water. They
were built of stone laid in mortar, and
seem to have had reservoirs of water.
Fragments of their pottery are found
scattered about in great profusion, and
deeply worn foot-paths leading from
village to village, or down to the river,
or up to the summit plain, were Ire,
quently seen. On the northern bend
their.dwellings were near the river.—
Some of these ruins seem to be centu
ries old, and others to have been in
habited by the present generation ; the
latter were found near the mouth of
the Little Colorado. Other ruins and
fragments of pottery were found in the
canons above, and away up in the val
ley of the Uintah. Only a few villa
ges of these interesting people now re
main in the country to the southeast.
Below this canon the river and ad
jacent country had been explored by
Mormon parties ; and here ended the
"Great Unknown," no longer thus to
be designated. The whole region was
one of great scenic beauty and
-gran
dour; the constant change in geologi
cal structure made a constant elninge
in scenery. The high walls inclosing
tortuous river shut off the view be
fore, and, as we advanced, it opened
out, ever bringing into view some new
beauty or glory. The impression of
this scenery was the rather accented
by a little anxiety, the shadow of- a
pang of dread ever present to the
mind.
