PLACE NAMES AND ELEVATIONS 



near the foot of Gibraltar. It is a narrow shelf of rocks, affording 

 space for a dozen climbers when crowded together and " feet 

 hanging over." It was used by one of the Ingraham parties, and 

 H. E. Holmes says they at first called it Camp Delight on account 

 of their joy at the first rays of morning. Elevation, about 12,000 

 feet above sea level. 



Canyon Bridge. In the southeastern part of the Park. The 

 Muddy Fork of the Cowlitz River rushes through a very narrow 

 and deep rift in the rocks. The spanning bridge gives an attrac- 

 tive view. 



Carbon Glacier. This glacier begins at the foot of Willis Wall 

 on the north face of the mountain. 



Carbon River. About 1876 coal was discovered on the banks of 

 this river suggesting the name, which was also later given to the 

 glacier from which the river has its source. 



Carter Falls. One of the beautiful features of the lower Para- 

 dise River. Named for an early guide who built the first trail to 

 Paradise Valley. For years the Longmires collected a fee of fifty 

 cents from each one using the trail. It was willingly paid when it 

 was explained that the money went to the builder of the trail. 



Castle Rock. In the northwestern portion of the Park. 

 Named from its resemblance to an old castle. Elevation, 6,116 

 feet above sea level. 



Cataract Basin. See Mist Park. 



Cataract Creek. Flows from Mist Park to the Carbon River in 

 the northwestern portion of the Park. About midway in its course 

 are the beautiful Cataract Falls. 



Cathedral Rocks. Extending southeast from the summit. It 

 is an extensive cleaver between the upper Cowlitz and Ingraham 

 Glaciers. Who first suggested the name has not been ascertained. 

 Elevation, 8,262 feet above sea level. 



Chenuis Mountain. An extensive ridge near the northern 

 boundary of the Park. On the shoulders of the mountain rest 

 three little lakes called Chenuis Lakes. From the northern slopes 

 of the mountain there rises Chenuis Creek, which, near its junction 

 with the Carbon River at the northwestern boundary of the Park, 

 produces the beautiful Chenuis Falls. The name seems to be 

 Indian, but its origin has not been ascertained. Elevation of the 

 ridge, from 4,000 to 6,000 feet above sea level. 



Christine Falls. On the lower portion of Van Trump creek. 

 Mr. Van Trump says the falls " were named after my daughter, 

 Christine Louise, by a friend John Hayes, of Yelm." Elevation, 

 3,667 feet above sea level. 



Cliff Lake. In the south-central portion of the Park, between 

 the Tatoosh Range and the boundary.
