Here, as well as along Whitewater, he says he should have made more improvements but for the important obstacles still to be encountered. The appearance of this valley is like that of Whitewater, but in approaching the mountains the ranges rose higher and gradually closed in, forming near its head a continuous canon, and necessarily involving seventeen crossings.

Near the junction of Whitewater and Green rivers there is a remarkable peak called La Tete, from a large rock on its slope resembling the head and neck of a man. This is an important point, as it forms the gate of the mountains on the west. Four miles beyond the only prairie above the forks is found, and would afford some grass for...
