Here their furs were disposed of to good advantage.
Mr.Carson, having judiciously invested his gains, organized another party of five trappers, and traversed an unpeopled wilderness for a distance of about two hundred miles until he reached the wild ravines and pathless solitudes of Grand river.

This stream, whose junction with the Green river forms the Colorado, takes its rise on the western declivity of the Rocky mountains, amidst its most wild and savage glens.

Trapping down this river with satisfactory success, late in the autumn he reached Green river.

Falling snows and piercing winds admonished him that the time had come again to retire to winter quarters.
He repaired to Brown's Hole, the well known and beautiful valley which he had often visited before.

Here he passed an uneventful but pleasant winter.
