Buffalo Land Part 30

"On the summits of these lofty mountains are some most beautiful, open spots, without a tree, and covered with gra.s.s and flowers. After pa.s.sing through dense pine forests for nearly ten miles, we suddenly emerged into one of these park-like areas. Just in the edge of the forest which skirted it were banks of snow six feet deep, compact like a glacier, and within a few feet were mult.i.tudes of flowers--and even the common strawberry seemed to flourish. These mountains are full of little streams of the purest water, and for six months of the year good pasturage for stock could be found."

THE END.
