Large rocks have fallen from the walls-great, angular blocks, <br />which have rolled down the talus and are strewn along the channel. We are compelled to make <br />three portages in succession, the distance being less than three fourths of a mile, with a fall of 75 <br />feet. Among these rocks, in chutes, whirlpools, and great waves, with rushing breakers and foam, <br />the water finds its way, still tumbling down. We stop for the night only three fourths of a mile below <br />the last camp. A vel}' hard day's work has been done, and at evening I sit on a rock by the edge <br />of the river and look at the water and listen to its roar. <br /> <br />John Wesley Powell, 1869 <br /> <br />iii <br />
