Ahead of us to the right is a canyon that is the southern extension of Desolation Valley.
_Strawberry to Kyburgs, 10 Miles_.

A few miles below Strawberry we pass Georgetown Junction (where the road from Georgetown enters the main road), and ten miles brings us to Kyburgs, 4000 feet elevation, the canyon narrowing as we descend.

On the right we pass Sugar Loaf (6500 feet).
At Kyburgs the water is taken out for the domestic and irrigation water-supply of Placerville--8000 inches of water.

The station is located at a break in the mountains where a cone-shaped rock, covered with trees, is a striking feature.
_Kyburgs, Through Riverton, to Pacific House, 14 Miles_.

Passing the South Fork of the American on the left, nine and a half miles brings us to Riverton, a charming river resort where many visitors stop during the season for a day or a week, as this is a noted center for fishing and hunting.
