(_UNITED STATES_) / C. F. GORDON-CUMMING
The valley can be approached from several different points. That by / which we entered is, I think, known as Inspiration Point. When we / started from Clarke's Ranch, we were then at about the same level as / we are at this moment -- namely, 4,000 feet above the sea. The road / gradually wound upwards through beautiful forest and by upland valleys, / where the snow still lay pure and white: and here and there, where / it had melted and exposed patches of dry earth, the red flame-like / blossoms of the snow-plant gleamed vividly.
