Standing on the plain now covered with second growth timber and gazing up at the gray rock walls, the massive natural fortress, entirely shutting out the world on the westérn side ‘and casting grim shadows over all, one can understand the wisdom of the American Indian in choosing both hig winter and summef homes.
