296 SPOUTING ADVENTURES 



Ogden, greenbacks are the best to take. 

 From Ogden the track again ascends rapidly, 

 passing through the " Devil's Gate," Weber and 

 Echo canons, including some magnificent scenery, 

 until the summit of the Rocky Mountains has 

 been reached. 



In the neighbourhood of Ogden, Corinne, 

 and Evanstone, we saw immense quantities 

 of wild fowl. Either of these places would 

 be good head-quarters for a sportsman ; there 

 is excellent trout-fishing at the latter place. 

 Echo and " Sherman " are also celebrated for 

 sport of all kinds. 



After leaving Laramie; the highest point 

 on the Rocky Mountains, and of the entire 

 route, is reached at an elevation of 8240 feet; 

 from thence the line descends gradually to 

 Omaha. Whilst crossing the prairie we saw 

 many herds of antelope, which seemed not the 

 least alarmed by the passing train, often feed- 

 ing within rifle-shot. We also put up several 

 packs of grouse or prairie chicken. 



Laramie is a good central spot for sport
