A. "ELEPHANT ROCK." 



Just after passing Palmer Lake the ftuide on the train will call attention to the "Elephant," 

 one of the grotesque remnants of the Dawson arkose which has weathered into a form 

 resembling an elephant. Photograph by G. B. Richardson. 



B. PALMER LAKE. 



On a hot day in summer one of the most refreshing sights between Denver and Colorado 

 Springs is the little sheet of water known as Palmer Lake. It lies on the divide between the 

 Arkansas and the Platte and also at the foot of the Front Range, which shows on the right.
