of the other. It is said that a bear once jumped across this chasm; 



hence the name. See [28:71].

 Navaho trail. 



Across this mesa [28:16] a trail from east to west, formerly much used by 

 the Navajo Indians on their incursions against the Spanish and Pueblo settle- 

 ments, creeps up from the Ri<j Grande, and, crossing the mesa, rises to the 

 crest of the mountains. It seems almost impossible for cattle and horses to 

 ascend the dizzy slope, yet the savages more than once have driven their liv- 

 ing booty with merciless haste over this trail to their distant homes. ^
