The sun is now setting, and there are
a few clouds above the summits into which
look some little islands than clouds. To the
left of this Peak is the one and you Gl-
nadle Springs in the shadow of the Peak. It
resembles a wide cone and the shadow
does not lie so much upon the line as
projected on it. In five minutes it is
gone and thus we have a clear and
sharp outline of the jagged Mts. The
coloration is intense and blends beautifully.
The atmosphere is cold and the thermometer
shows a temperature of 29 degrees Fahrenheit.
Later the moon rises and skies
are as clear on the Peak the Mts in the
distance cannot be made out. The electric
lights of the Cities show clearly and those
of Denver can also be seen 30 miles
down.
