American Big-Game Hunting 



beyond were mountains piled on mountains; 

 and I could see clearly the grand Teton 

 range springing up from Jackson's Lake: 

 Mount Hayden, some fourteen thousand feet 

 high, with Mount Moran just north of it, 

 Hayden rising majestically from the surface 

 of the lake thousands of feet, with sharp 

 slopes and walls of bare rock above, and its 

 base buried in a darkness of pine and spruce. 

 Their snow-covered summits and immense 

 glaciers must impress any beholder with a 

 strong sense of sublimity. It is said that 

 on the summit of one of the Tetons there 

 is an inclosure made of rocks several feet 

 in height, built by what long-vanished and 

 forgotten race of builders no man will ever 

 know.
