"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.
