We now went ahead with good speed, leaving as much work as possible for the prospective Canonita party to perform.

All through Glen Canyon we found evidences of Puebloan occupation: house ruins, storage caves, etc.

The river was tame, though the walls, about one thousand to sixteen hundred feet high, were beautiful, and often, in places, vertical.

The low stage of water rendered progress somewhat difficult at times, but nevertheless we made fairly good time and on the 5th of October passed the San Juan, a shallow stream at this season, entering through a wide canyon of about the same depth as that of the Colorado, that is, about twelve hundred or fourteen hundred feet.

A short distance below it we stopped at the Music Temple, where the Rowlands and Dunn had carved their names.
