ft ft^^^ ^^BROM Mammoth Springs to Norris 

 S^^^ r^S Greyser Basin is twenty miles, 

 j|)f%^ ^^^^ ^iid by that route we started on 

 ^B^^fi^SSS our homeward journey. It is not 

 ^^f'afjfi^^ ^y purpose, however, to Hnger 

 ^^^'^^^'^■-i'^^ or to tire you with a minute 

 description of that journey. 



It is full of wonders and beauties; but there is 

 too much scenery in this book now. You pass 

 the Hoodoos, a little plain covered with boulders 

 of a travertine formation, curiously misshapen 

 and fantastically carved by erosion, lying as 

 though some god, in sport, had tipped them over. 

 Beyond this is the famous Golden Gate, the canon 

 of Glen Creek, which contains the Rustic Falls 

 and one of the engineering marvels of the Park, 

 where the road is carried along the canon's side on 

 a cement viaduct.
