"Castle Rock are much lower in the
The Both Rock.
Green River is well named, the water is
a light green in color.
I once was sailing beneath Toll Both Rock when
the old immigrant truly saw the Green River not more
than four feet away. The Rock stands upright for
probably 40 feet. There is a little talus slope at
its base and here lies one of the prettiest spots
I have ever seen. They came from the very top.
Of course the green were preeminently apt to
cry that the sage cattle here have nothing else
to eat. How many an immigrant must feel happy
after coming over a desolate dry desert to see before
him a grand river with magnetic lofty hills to
relieve the monotony of what he had just seen.
Some of them could not have gone beyond Toll
Both when the Miner proceeded upon the same
track to pass by them all.
The rocks between the Castle and
Toll Both are locally called "the Chimneys"
These are more on the latter.
