They are high & the river valley narrow along near Utaline. It was almost dark when we reached Debuque but a good moon showed some of the country as far as Aspen at midnight. Snowed in morning as we came up out of the Basin and over Soldier Summit. Warm & sunshiny through Green River Valley, began snowing again in evening as we climbed up the Colorado Mts. and snowed most all night. Snow a foot deep at Aspen. [[underlined]] Nov. 11 [[/underlined]] Got daylight while we were near Summit Park on the Colorado Midland R.R. Did not see much of the country between there and Aspen, could see enough to tell that we were among big mountains and in caƱons, with thick timber and lots of snow. At Summit Park the country is just big, smoothe swells, very smoothe for mountains. There are groves of Populus tremuloides & Pinus scopularum, - brush patches, and grassy slopes. Some farms, small streams, and meadows. Very little snow. Manitou is a big gulch full of nice little cottages. Cedar on the hills all around.
