 grade of the canyon being less than the dip of the strata, we got rapidly into lower strata. Below the sandstone which is mentioned above and which may be the equivalent of the top of the Lykins formation in (( probably State Bridge Formation)), are typical "red beds", deep red sandstones and shales exactly like the Lykins north of  (( probably Maroon Formation)). Exposures, as usual, are much better on north side of canyon on account of vegetation covering the slopes on the ((other)) side. There is much on the slopes. At 2:30 we fed the horses and lunched 12 miles above. Rained from 1 to 2:15 p.m. Roads muddy. Continued on to, just above the forks of , on the North Fork, about a mile above the forks, 24 miles from. , reaching there at 7 p.m. We crossed the river about two miles down, then crossed the South Fork, which was fortunate, at ((as?)) the P.O. is on the south side of the North Fork and the bridge is out over the latter. We came up
