DISTANCES AND HEIGHTS. 31 
The highest point on the wall is at Dunn's Cliff, near Triplet Falls, where 
the rocks reach an altitude of 2,700 feet, but the peaks a little way back 
rise nearly a thousand feet higher. Yellow pines, nut pines, firs, and 
cedars stand in extensive forests on the Uinta Mountains, and, clinging 
to the rocks and growing in th crevices, come down the walls to the 
water's edge from Flaming Gorge to Echo Park. The red standstones 
are lichened over; delicate mosses grow in the moist places, and ferns 
festoon the walls.
