GRAY'S AND TORREY'S PEAKS 



GRAY'S to the left, Torreys to the right. As the lookout 

 of the photographer was nearer Torreys than Grays, the 

 former appears the higher in the picture, while the reverse 

 is really the case. The trail winds through a ravine at the 

 right of the ridge in front ; then creeps along the farther 

 side of the ridge above the gorge at Torreys base ; comes to the 

 crest of the ridge pretty well toward the left ; then crawls and 

 zigzags back and forth along the titanic wall of Gray's to the 

 summit. In the vale, where some of the head waters of Clear 

 Creek will be seen, the white-crowned sparrows and Wilson's 

 warblers Jind homes. A little before the ascent of the ridge 

 begins, thejirst pipits are seen ; thence the clambcrer has pipit 

 company to the point where the ridge joins the main bulk oj the 

 mountain. Here the pipits stop, and the Jirst leucostictes are 

 noted, which, chirping cheerily all the way, escort the traveller 

 to the summit.
