I am sitting in the Observation Car all the way (from Field to Radnor a distance of 114 miles) and I see the Rocky Mts one after another span into the distance as I go east. What a grand sight it all is to observe these cuts of stratified rocks without any green masses, and ranging from the basal Cambrian into the Cretaceous. In places the strata are almost horizontal and elsewhere in grand arches and dolours and again almost vertical (New Faec). In all my life I have never seen folded out structures so clearly revealed. It is the other extreme of the grand Canyon of the Colorado. And today the grandeur is greater because of the sunny day with all the mts covered with snow cut off by bare snow shaded spaces and the dark green of the amiflu forest. I sat for four hours enthralled, hardly able to read the gelriged guide of the Canadian Govt Express or the railway guide. The girl girl whom to maps these mts must be an alpine climber, and mr Jalson lot girl is to do it. But what a repetition dallent girls? a song ~ could make her in working out in detail the stratigraphic succession.
