CAxr 1% THE MDDLE PARK, Jone 20, 1866, @ur plans for the mountain journeyhad beon fixed Sefore” Jeaving Denver, and we adhered to them in wpite of wamings and persuasions. Mr. Byers is an secomplished mountaincer, to whom much of the ground is familiar, and I preferrred taking his advice o that of others who spoke from hearsayurather than experience. It would be difficult, if ot impossible, to’ sross Berthond Pass, many persous asserted: the Sardships of Col. Babeoek’s party, a fortnight ago, were constantly cited, and the spectersof risk and danger, which those who stay at home delight to evoke for those who travel, accompanied us up™to the t of starting. At; Empire, bowever, the people coutented them- selves with predicting that we eonld not get over the pos in a day—and, indeed, there scemed a strong ro ity that they were right. ‘White sesout at day- beeak to corral the horses and mules: we also rose early, washed our-faces in the frosty air, in the midst of & panorama of rose-tinted Alps, took an early * pquare” breakfast, and tied our eqnipments in eom- fortable pareels for packing. < But the animals, well saspecting what was before them, refused to be cer- salled. First one assistant, then another, was dis- potehed, until five persons were busy, and nine o'clock had arrived, befoe there was any prospect of our departure. In the mean time, the landlord produced*a boiled ham, and a tin-kettle full of hot biscuit, which we put into a coffee-bag. ** They might ha’ been sad- der,™said he, speaking of the biscuit; ‘ they pack Better when they're sad.” @Gen.

By this time White had arrived with the ani- mals—two cute little pack mules, a lean dun mare for myself and a large brown mule for Mr. Beard. - The otber gentlemen bad their own beasts. The packing, ing. ana ocher final preparations were done ,and by 10 o'cleek we were in the saddle. “You'll camp on this side of the pass to-night,” said Judge Cowles; and so we Yode out of Empire. 1 wish we had & word in the English language cor- responding to the German ** reiselust"—because - that ‘word, and none other, expresses the feeling with which one gets out on a'journey, in the pure upper air of a mountain region, ‘The cireulates with nimble alacrity; the lungs expand with a tingling sense of delight; all sights and sounds of nature have a char- woter of cheer and encouragement; life is a most agreeahle condition, and one’s fellow-men are good fellows, every one of them. J& wao & superh day. The wind blew down from the snow-ficlde, tempering the heat of a dazzling sm i a cloudless sky. The village behind us showed Qetweon groops of tall, dark fir-trces; the creek, dammed for a stamp-will, spread out a bright lake in the lap of the valley, aud sonthward the sharp sum- mit of Montgomery Peak rose high above all the sur- -m&.‘h.

Mr. Beard and mysc}f were <0 moved by the breath- 1ess toil of onr animals that wedismounted at a safe phace, and walked, In five minutes we were in a Sorse condition than the horses; our knees tottered; *our bodies were drenched wjth sweat, our eyes dim, iheads giddy, and lungs utferly collapsed.

Anotber quarter of an hour, and the steeps fell back in front, leaving s lovely Alpine meadow, dott&d with clamps of pine, the vivid green of its turf spriukled with snowy star- flowers, and a*brook of icy crystal winding®through it. 1 wae delighted when Mr. Byers gave the word to unsaddle.

Directly in front of ns_ s depressiontin the fir- clad ridge-indicated the summit of the pass, on either side of which bald, snowy peaks rose cousiderably above the timber line. Whitethad crossed thie range last week, with a drove of 22 Government horses; but be had gone considerably to the northward of the pass, in order to avoid the suows. It was & question whether we should try to reopen the old trail, or fol- low his example and climb the frightful-looking steep on our right to & point beyond the timber. Being a green hand, ¥ said nothing, but I felt relieved when the pass was selected, for the snows had been meltin very rapidly, and I was couving ed that we cuulfi' fuleify the predictions of our friends. The borses were saddled, the mules repacked, and we set out upon the uncertain adventure, There was snow all around us; some drifts, even, lay on the meadow; and, even where it had melted, the soil was “such an elastic, treacherous bog that we did not ven- ture to ride. On all sides rills came rushing-down, uproated trees harred the way; or pools of blach mud had collected. It was impossible to follow the trail, although we could trace it by the marks of the shov- els, Slowly, in single file, nnp}flng every two juin- utes to leau upon our horses’ necks and gasp for breath, spattered with moud and wet wita snow-water, we climbed through the forest, taking heart from the knowledge that this was our Jast hard pull. The trees rapidly grew thinner, the roaring rills became noise- Jess threads of water, the snow-drifts overlapped each other and must be waded, and then—the steep sud- denly flattened and & keen wind blew'over the sum- wit of the Pass, Jtis o sharp erest, with not ten yards between the opposite declivitiee, Here there was an open space, covered with buneh grass among 108 of snow.

No general panora- mwa of the range ‘4 vidible, but there are inclosed views to (he east and west, Bebiud us, a sweep of bleak, frosty summits, too near (apparently), too hard and sharp to be beautiful.

After ncarly a mile of this travel, when strength, hope and courage were on the point of giving ont, the dnifts diminished and we could now and thew walk in a bog of black mud, which was a pleasant relief. A little further, and_ Mr. Byers au- nounced that the trail was found, although uot yet practicible; we must stil} break our own way. Ounr faces were smuarting and our throats were parched, yet the snow-water, which set our teeth on edge witheits colduess, did not seem to quench thirst in the least. We were soon enabled, however, to mount, and throw the burden of fatigue op the horses, After & short but very steep descent, the path was ‘barsed by an impetnous torrent, whicli was crossed at ono poidt by a frail arch of gnow left from o drift. ‘White bol2iy Walked over, leading his horse after him; but 10 one else dared to follow. -After & hittle search ,we found a fordable place, and crossed, with the water foaming up to our saddles, There was yet another branch ot the same river before us, and this preved to be hoth deeper and swifter. Mr. Beard's mulo tot- tered and gave way, but mp@inud his footing just on the briuk of a rapid, and with a little care we all got safely, over. We were now able to follow the trail, except where it led into boggy holes, where the horses frequently sank to their beilies. Ou account of the fallen tinber, it was & work of considerable difficulty to get around these hioles. An intermivable forest surrounded us. During the first four or five miles, we had asu occa- sional glimpse of open green meadows on our right, and spurs of the snowy range towering beyond; after- wards, nolhinfi but & dark wilderuess of piues, tivs and | aspens, . The descent was very gradual—so much so, that after traveling for three honrs, we were still in the midst of snow-drifts. My boots were completely sodden and feet and legs soon became so icy-cold that 1 was forced to walk a good part of the way, although the exercise seemed to rack every joint in | the body. Mile after mile, andeour after hour fassed by, and still the same gloomy, dreary forest—stilk wnow, mud-hoies and fallen logs.
