n leaves Bear River
Valley, and turns over a very steep hill. Good grass, wood,
and water.

12. Bear River.--Road ascends Grant's Mountain 1200 feet in 1-1/2
miles--double teams--then descends again into Bear River
Valley at 4-4/5 miles. Good wood, water, and grass.

17-2/5. Indian Creek.--Road crosses eight fine spring branches;
camp is on a beautiful trout stream. Good wood, water, and
grass.

11. Spring near Bear River.--Road is hilly, crossing two
spring branches. Good wood, water, and grass. The camp is on
the left and near the road.

11. Bear River.--At 6-7/10 miles the road strikes a large
group of springs called "Soda Springs," and here crosses Pine
Creek, on the left bank of which is a saleratus lake. Soon
after it strikes the main springs, and after crossing another
creek the "Steam-boat Spring" may be seen in the bed of the
river.

15. "Port Neuf," or Rock Creek.--At 2-3/10 miles the road leaves
Bear River near where it runs through a canon with high bluffs
on each side. At this point the California and Fort Hall roads
separate. The California road (called Hudspeth's Cut-off) then
crosses a valley between the Bear River and Port Neuf River
Mountains, 9 miles. No water from camp to camp. Good camp.

15. Marsh Creek.--About two miles above the main road the creek
can be forded; a road leads to it from the descent into the
valley. Road good; water and grass plenty; no wood.

16-1/5. Paunack Creek.--First part of the road is hilly; the remainder
good. Good camp.

7-1/5. Mallade River.--At 7-1/5 miles the road crosses the Mallade
River. Good camp 140 miles from Salt Lake City. Good road.

22-3/10. Small Creek.--The road ascends a ridge through a canon, and
descends to a valley on the other side. From the camp to the
summit of the ridge is 6-1/5 miles. The descent is 3-7/10
miles. It then crosses a valley 8 miles wide, and strikes a
canon which leads to the top of a hill over a rough road.
Plenty of wood, water, and grass at camp, but no water between
this and the last camp.

9-3/5. Small Creek.--Road after five miles strikes a canon with a
long but gentle ascent. Two miles from the entrance of this
canon i
