valley and 1.00 Close to the mountains, so
that the first range at "foot hill," shuts
out the great ranges beyond from the
view. The old stage road from Smoky
Hill, passing over the high ridge which
parts the waters of the Platte and the
Arkansas, affords grander views than
any other traveled route- I came by this
route first, afterward by the more direct.

My first Rocky Mountain view was ex
quisitely beautiful. As I rode over a
point of bluff on the Big Sandy Fork of
the Arkansan, Pike's Peak, one hundred
and twenty miles away, rose two or three
degrees above the high Intervening
plains, ghostly white, with n soft bluish
tint, contrasted with dark blue shades'',
and bare crags, each line as fine and
clearly defined as now when I ail writing
almost at the Loot of the mountain. No
pearl could equal the lustre of the bright
morning rays rtflected from the snow
covered peak.
As we slowly advanced, camping for a
few days, then moving eight or ten miles,
and the peak thee higher, I had full time
te observe the atinespheric effects of such
distant views. From sunrise until two
hones after, delicate tints succeeded each
other, scarcely able to overcome the fine
white of the sunlit snow, but deeper on
the shadows. Someimes several tints
from a rosy flush to violet would appear
at once, blending and harmonizing as
perfectly as the colors of flowers.
But this was but a simple peak. Still
as we passed westward and It rose and
with it its near neighbors, then the far off
and higher Gray's Peak, and further still
Long's Peak in the northwest shot up at
brat a sharp cone, which was afterwards
supported by snow white buttresses.

This will not show the distances of the
mountains, however, for they are seen
over the haze.
