Show 44 EXPLORATION OF THE CANONS OF THE COLORADO. Split Mountain Canon is eight miles long. The highest crags on its walls reach an altitude above the river of from two thousand five hundred to two thousand seven hundred feet. In these canons, cedars only are found on the walls. The distance by river from the foot of Split Mountain Canon to the mouth of the Uinta is sixty-seven miles. The valley through which it runs is the home of many antelope, and we have adopted the Indian name, Won1-sits Yu-av-Antelope Valley. , |
