They are looking for Bannock trails 
arrived from the springs, 
and scouting generally, about 9 o f clock five of us~~Eckles, 
Gannett, West, Midd and my self --cross the river at the ford 
at the head of the rapids, 3/4 miles above Cascade Greek. 
Find on the opposite sides above the upper fails and 100 to 
150 feet above river an outcrop of coarse loosely compounded 
sandstone, horizontal. Grayish, greenish, etc., with some 
coarse grains, evidently past pleocene. Mr. Bckles saw down 
by the falls 20 feet of this horizontal sandstone; under it 
were near 30 feet of horizontally bedded sandy clays 50 or 60 
feet, at base, above upper falls. 
assisted Gannett to measure lower fall. Have a very 
interesting time about the base of the falls. Got terribly 
wet carrying the line to the foot of the fall. Passed 
with West a very dangerous place. Note the glorious beauty 
of the falls with the wonderful green at the top find showing 
slightly through the fleecy shooting festoons of foaming 
waterfall. Walls of canon most rich in color, yellow pre- 
vailing on west with patches and streaks of other colors, 
darker being water at left. Collected a number of specimens 
of trachyte in sildes. Saw hot springs, etc. 
In a number of places post pleocene sands, atones, and fine 
conglomerate set into notches in the walls, (see sketch in 
this book). 
Mr. Eckles exclaims, with dilating eyes, ’’This is 
glorious / ? and the falls with the canon are without rival 
no doubt
