    • Glen Canyon (Utah and Ariz.); Rafting (Sports)--Colorado River (Colo.-Mexico)

    • light red limestone which we saw for the remainder of the trip. The walls of the canyon were lower, but no less rugged than they had been previously; and our experienced eyes could now more quickly sight the tell-tale talus of an abandoned mine. We...

    • camp ground was solved by a bucket brigade, and before long the 36 assembled for the hike (or as much of it as you felt your exhausted body could take) to the Hole in the Rock. Merly abandoned the customary trail because of the very dense growth...

    • meaningfulness of this spot. Though we wished to linger there in the breeze and the quietude we had found, in order to get down to the camp before dark, we had to begin the descent. On the way down each of us collected film boxes, candy wrappers,...

    • On the inland boundary of our campsite a modest leaning tower was constructed. It even had a sign warning of the dangers inside; and as it quivered and quaked in the wind, some of us waited anxiously to see if it would fall. Pearl and Glad pulled...

    • Since the dirt road was steep and at its crest there was some soft sand, we all walked past the first bend, where a mad scramble was made for the positions in which we would be carried homeward. Of course, the best places were near canteens, on...
