 one is at the bottom of the east precipice of 

 Long's Peak. 



There can hardly be found a greater and more 

 closely gathered area of imposing, easily read 

 glacial records than those which centre about 

 Long's Peak. These works of the Ice King, 

 both intact and partly ruined, have attracted 

 the attention and study of a number of promi- 

 nent geologists and glaciologists. Among these 

 ice works Dr. Hayden and Dr. David Starr 

 Jordan have climbed and wandered. Vernon 

 L. Kellogg has here gathered material for a 

 book, and Dr. Edward L. Orton, former State 

 Geologist of Ohio, has spent many weeks here 

 in study. Within a six-mile radius of the top
