fine peak by itself. The view is up the South Fork of Red River & over some 20 or 25 miles of finely forested country.

[[strikethrough]] Gold H [[/strikethrough]] Baldy looms up bare & bald as ever to the S.E. of us & apparently not 25 miles away. To the North a peak reaching only a little above timberline must be the Castilla Peak of the Land Office map but Sun Elk thinks it is Poniel Peak & that Castillia is the higher group west of the north arm of Castillia River.

From the summit we go down a long easy grade to Labelle at 10100 feet at the edge of the big, open park valley of Comanche Creek where we strike the Elizabethtown & Castillia road. A few miles to the west we strike [[strikethrough]] the [[/strikethrough]] Comanche Creek [[strikethrough]] & f [[/strikethrough]] at 9700 feet and follow down it to the west [[strikethrough]] to [[/strikethrough]] about 5 miles to Castillia R. at 9400 feet, then up the river a mile or two & a quarter of a mile up a side gulch & camp at 9700 feet.
