Feb. 28. Warm & pleasant.

Climbed over the divide in Union Pass, found the roads fearfully rough & steep. Had to drive over a hill of great boulders for a long way up the canon.

The scenery in the pass is very rough & picturesque with great bare, rock cliffs & peaks & spires & needles. Came down the west slope by following the ridges & washes, reached the river a little after noon & camped at old Harpers Ferry.

Took traps & went up into Pyramid Cañon & Keays set traps below.

Found vegetation away ahead of that east of the pass.  Many flowers in blossom & grass & weeds green.  Some birds nesting.
