UNTRODDEN WAYS 187 



meadows, canons and waterfalls, peaks and hills. 

 While there are a few hot springs, there are no 

 geysers, but the scenery is as beautiful as any 

 that can be found in the Rockies. 



From the Canon Hotel the road winds upward 

 over Dunraven Pass, a little depression between 

 Dunraven Peak and Mt. Washburne. The latter is 

 the highest mountain in the Park, and there is a 

 fairly easy road to its top. We did not go to the 

 top, as it was a misty day and the view would not 

 have been good. It had rained the night before 

 we started, and, as the road is little traveled, we 

 were the first over it. It was an interesting study 

 to watch the signs of animal life in the tracks along 

 the road. Chuck and Spot developed great sagac- 

 ity in determining the animals to which they 

 belonged. 



In one place on a single line were the tracks 

 of a' bear, a coyote and a deer. Which was fleeing 

 and which pursuing they were unable to deter- 

 mine. In places a whole band of elk had crossed 

 the road, and everywhere were the records of the 

 busy animal life that fills the Park and is most 

 numerous here where the travel is least.
