     summary: Great mountains of clay or stone, in all sorts of grotesque shapes and of many colors, constantly attracted our attention until we reached the Yellowstone River, which was higher than it had been for many years. The road is a very good one, passing over rushing streams and along the bases of great mountains, amidst magnificent scenery.
