again for years, even during the month of August. In using 

 this article for a guide, therefore, due allowance should be 

 made for this unusual condition. 



Donohue Pass (11,200 feet) marks the boundary of the Yo- 

 semite National Park. The trail crosses and recrosses the 

 stream flowing from the glacier of Mount Lyell, descends by 

 well-built grades, and comes out upon the level floor of Lyell 

 Canon. The journey is practically over. There is no longer 

 any need of a guide ; trails are excellent and well marked, camp 

 can be made anywhere, and feed is a hundred times more 

 abundant than anywhere else along the entire route. In our 

 case, we made camp for our last night in the open by the side 

 of the Tioga Road below the Tuolumne Soda Springs. Next 

 day we reached Yosemite by way of Lake Tenaya and Mirror 

 Lake and came to the end of the John Muir Trail. 



For convenience of the traveler I append a summary of the 

 schedule of our party, among whom were Jesse B. Agnew, of 

 Visalia, California; Allen Chamberlain, of Boston, Massachu- 

 setts ; Dr. G. Lenox Curtis, of New York City ; and Henry H. 

 Saylor, of Huntington, Long Island, New York.
