26_90 Riverside Mts., c. 300 ft. Colorado River. ---------- - Camped last night on a sandbar in the middle of the river bed. Went into camp at 5:15 and again into the stream at 8:20 this a.m. We now have the Riverside Mts. in full view; they parallel the river for many miles.

The Riverside Mts are marked from far up the river by four equally spaced peaks of equal size & appearance. These stand centrally in the range as observed from here. As we have come nearer the northerly peak is seen at this angle to consist of 4 equal teeth and the southerly peak is truncated. _= Riverside Mts on contour map; prob. the whole are called so. |
