Ogden Canyon, a deep notch with bare cliffs of hard pink quartzite on both sides, was cut in the solid rock by the river which flows through it. Running water carrying sand and gravel acts as a saw or file and, giv- en time enough, can cut through the | hardest rocks. Ogden river was flow- ing west along its present course be- fore the lofty Wasatch Mountains { came into existence. The raising of | the mountains went on slowly for | ages, so slowly that the river kept its place by cutting down its ever-rising bed, carving a deep and narrow can- yon straight through the block of the earth’s crust as it rose. In no | other way can we rationally account i for a river rising on one side of the ! range it. Movement of the mountain pass | has continued down to the present | time—at least there has been recent disturbance .along the base of - the | Wasatch range, as is shown by faults which traverse the lake deposits and the modern alluvial aprons. Some of the breaks are so new as to be devoid of vegetation. The upward move- , ment of the mountains has been so | continuous that the river has had | no opportunity to widen its valley a task which it will begin as soon as | the mountains cease rising (Over- land Guidebook, U. 8.
