water, and grass.

13. Cedar Creek.--Road leaves the Oncompagre, and bears to the
east up Cedar Creek to the gap in the mountains, 6 miles;
thence up the valley of Cedar Creek to camp, where are wood,
water, and grass. The Gap is the first opening in the
mountains above the mouth of the Oncompagre.

8-3/4. Devil's Creek.--Road runs to the head of Cedar Creek, over
the divide, into the valley of Devil's Creek, and is rough,
with a steep descent. Camp is near a narrow canon called
Devil's Gate, with high perpendicular bluffs. Good camp.

3. North Fork of Devil's Creek.--Road very rocky, and worked by
Colonel Loring. Marcy's and Gunnison's trails pass here. Good
camp.

7-3/4. Cebola Creek.--Road passes over abrupt hills covered with
pine. Good camp.

5-1/2. Ruidos Creek.--Road rough, with abrupt ascents and descents.
Fine creek 5 feet wide, and good camp.

13. Grand River.--Road rather smooth for the first 3 miles, then
rough and rocky, crossing several creeks, and descending
into the valley of the Grand or Eagle-tail River, where is a
good camp. Plenty of brook trout in all the streams in this
section.

14-1/2. Grand River.--Road crosses the river three times; bottom
wide; grass and wood abundant. Cross several beautiful
streams, upon which are good camps. Some sand and rough
places, but generally good road. Game and brook trout
abundant in this region. Indians resort to this section a
great deal.

18. Cutebetope Creek.--At about 5 miles the Cutebetope Creek
enters, forming at the confluence a beautiful valley, which
the road crosses, and strikes the creek near the Point of
Rocks, where the valley is only 40 yards wide, but after
passing the Point it opens again. The course of the creek is
nearly north. Good camps.

20. Spring near Beaver Creek.--Road crosses several small creeks,
where are good camping-places. Good camp.

16-3/4. Sawatch Creek.--Road runs over a very rough and mountainous
section for 14 miles to the summit of the Rocky Mountains;
thence it descends to camp, where grass, wood, and water are
abundant.

21-1/2. Sawatch Creek.--Road rough and rocky in places; strikes the
main Sawatch Creek at
