This was the Hurricane Ledge, which extends across the country northwards from the Uinkaret Mountains to the Virgen River.

Its course is well seen on the map opposite page 41, and also on the one on page 37.

As the traveller comes to Hurricane Hill, the northern limit, from which the whole cliff takes its name, he has before him one of the most extraordinary views in all that region, if not in the world.

Even the Grand Canyon itself is hardly more wonderful.

To the right and below us lay the fair green fields of Toquerville, on the opposite side of the Virgen, and all around was such a labyrinth of mountains, canyons, cliffs, hills, valleys, rocks, and ravines, as fairly to make one's head swim.
