George Bradley: "We have plenty of rations left, much more than we care to carry around the rappids [sic], especially when they are more than a mile long. The scenery at this point is sublime. The red sand-stone rises on either side more than 2000 ft., shutting out the sun for much of the day while at our feet the river, lashed to foam, rushes on with indescribable fury."
