feet. Left an imposing series of recessional moraines, both terminal and lateral, forming ridged terraces extending to within a few hundred rods of Ward. Passed over into South St. Vrain and followed it up, passing Red Rock Lake, Brainerd Lake and Long Lake and at 4 p.m. reached Fred A. Fair's camp just below Isabel Lake, which lies on a rocky bench over which the outlet makes a fine cataract. It sprinkled much of the afternoon and began to rain just before I reached camp. Fair was not in camp, but Patterson and another man was. Valley is finely U shaped with heavy moraines, roches mouton?es and filled lakebeds. The lakes above named are rather large. Country is much of it heavily timbered. Fred Fair returned late in the evening. Pine squirrels common about the lakes, also grouse.
