COLORADO LETTER.
Trip Over Marshall Pass and Through
Black Canon—Fine Fishing
at Gunnison.
Manitou, Col., Aug. 3, 1900.
We have just returned from a
trip over the celebrated Marshall
Pass, and through the Black Canon
of the Gunnison River, and enjoyed
some very fine fishing in the Gunni
son River, near a town of the same
name, in central Colorado, about
275 miles distant from Manitou.
Made the trip over the Denver &
Rio Grande Ry., “The Scenic Line
of the World,” and right here will
say a ride over this solidly built and
splendidly equipped line, to view
the grand scenery described in my
last as to “Royal Gorgfe,” and here
in spoken of, is worth twice the
cost price of same.
I wrote last from Salida, Col.,
where we had to lay over all night,
so as to take the narrow gauge to
our destination —Cimarron, beyond
the Black Canon—early next morn
ing. About six miles west of Sa
lida, we began ascending to Mar
shall Pass over the Rocky Moun
tains, drawn by two large locomo
tives, and for twenty miles we go
up and up—starting beside a good
sized mountain stream, follow it for
miles to its source, and then take a
serpentine course, with a number
of long horse shoe curves around
canons, finally reaching the summit
of the pass, in a long snow shed,
11,000 feet above sea level. At
several points we could see three or
four stretches of railroad below us,
in making the ascent, and to say
that the' mountain scenery was
“grand beyond description,” but
faintly expresses it. On one side,
seemin fly not very far distant, Mt.
Everett’s hoary (snow covered) peak
was seen—over 14,0Q0 feet in alti
tude; also Mt. Uray, not quite so
tall, but alike mantled in snow, in
another direction. At the summit,
a short stop was made, and passen
gers ascended the tower above the
shed, and viewed the pass on both
sides and various mountain peaks,
canon peaks and gorges. Descent
down the western slope of pass was
made more quickly than ascent
from east, distance being four miles
less —speed of train down, is slow
and cautious, requiring nearly an
hour to descend the sixteen miles.
Nearly two hours is required in
making the ascent of twenty miles.
Grade over the pass is said to be
four per cent —211 feet rise to the
mile. At Salida, on east side where
descent begins, altitude is 7,050
feet, while it is 8,477 feet at Sar
gent on West Side, where steep
grade begins. From Sargent to
Gunnison, through the Black Canon
on to Grand Junction, the descent
is gradual—grade not so heavy and
only one locomotive is used.
The “Black Canon of the Gunni
son River” is so named from the
color of the rock therein —nearly
black in many places. At the town
of Gunnison the Rio Grande Ry.
comes to the river Gunnison and
follows it down stream to Grand
Junction, one of its various termini,
a distance of 135 miles. At Gunni
son, observation car (open car) is
put on for the benefit of tourists,so
they can view the sights of the
Black Canon. The Gunnison river
is a large mountain stream, one of
the clearest, prettiest and most
romantic in all the Rocky Moun
tains, and like the Arkansas river
in the “Royal Gorge,” seems to cut
its way through the mountains in
its passage through the Black
Canon. For some twenty-five or
t hirty miles, mountains tower di
rectly above thousands of feet,with
the river close to the track—much
of the way for track is blasted out
of the solid black rock, in places
overhanging the track. It certainly
required a mint of money to con
struct this railroad—the engineer
ing skill here displayed, as also in
the Royal Gorge, and over Mar
shall Pass, is indeed wonderful, and
shows what man can accomplish.
Although there is no "hanging iron
bridge” in the Black Canon, scenery,
is “immense” —of.course somewhat
similar to that of the Royal Gorge.
But am tired of trying to describe
scenery—“scenery," “scenery"—
everywhere "scenery.” It reminds
me of the time when I was in Cali
fornia—all I could hear was “cli
mate”—the “wonderful climate’’—
prices of lands, city realty and per
sonalty, all based on climate—am
now weary of “scenery,” as I was
there of “climate.”
Now. tor the fine fishing—but
have taken up so much space for
“occuery," have not much left foi

this. Spent three or four hours
fishing at Cimarron, with a “fly,”
but had no success, so came back
to Gunnison and took a day for it,
with live minnows for bait, and had
tine success. After getting my
minnows and securing a pair of
wading boots, started out early in
the morning with a friend. It was
my‘first real experience at moun
tain trout fishing and my friend,
Mr. Teachout, had to teach me —
ht said 1 proved an apt pupil, as
my catch was equal to his. We
angled for over two miles down the
beautiful mountain river, and about
2:20, our bait getting scarce, be
gan to retrace our steps. Both
fishermen caught between five and
six pounds each of the lovely
“speckled beauties;” I lifted out
ten of them, varying in size from a
half pound to one pound—nearly as
many more were hooked, but got
away from me ere I could land
them. I shall not soon forget, this
extra fine piscatorial sport—how -1
had to “play" ray fish and tire them
ere I could land them, (oh they are
game) how I came near falling into
several deep holes just below rap
ids, while wading on slippery rocks,
and finally how "beautifully sun
burned” I got, as my wife expressed
it. As 1 was out for sight-seeing
with my family, and they were
"very tired” of the little town of
Gunnison, packed my fine fish in ice
and brought them home to the cot
tage here, and can say there are
no finer eating fish on earth than
the mountain trout; under different
circumstances would have remained
there for weeds.
But enough—may write again in
a few days. J. W. Gardnur.
