 at an altitude of 6000 feet, August 13 to 25, 1902 ; second, at

Oak Creek Canyon has precipitous walls from 1200 to 1500 

 feet high, and is a miniature edition of the Grand Canyon of the 

 Colorado, but with an abundance of stately oaks and pines and 

 beautiful wild flowers, and luxuriant farm crops on the two or 

 three ranches on the narrow floor of the canon. Oak creek is a 

 vigorous mountain stream of clear, cool water, and is well stocked 

 with luscious trout. No wagons can enter this canon, and our 

 baggage, camp equipment and provisions were packed on
