There are a few snow banks on the cold slopes of the highest peaks & far to the north the main range in Colorado is solid white.
The view is one grand panorama of mountains, including the Truchas Peaks to the south, the Cimarrons in the east & range after range & peak beyond peak to the north, with high forested [[strikethrough]] ranges [[/strikethrough]] ridges, plateaus & valleys in between. 
After leaving our little creek, which heads a mile above camp, I found no water and saw none save a little lake just below timberline at the head of Pueblo Creek, but creeks occur in most the gulches. I kept on the ridges. 
Saw lots of deer tracks but no sign of bear. 

[[underline]] Sept. 16 [[/underline]] - Sent Weller up the Cimarron Mts. across the valley but he did not reach the top & read his barometer wrong so the trip was worthless. Apparently he found timberline at about 12000 feet on southwest slope.
