So different that they seem to belong in a different world are the great inter-mountain streams, like the Yellowstone and the Colorado. They flow through landscapes of desolate grandeur, vast expanses compassed by endless mountain-ranges that chill the bright skies with never-melting snows.
The moon has risen; it is two-thirds full, and a more beautiful sight than the one that now greets my exit from the bunk-house it is scarcely possible to conceive. Only those who have been in this inter-mountain country can have any idea of a glorious moonlight night in the clear atmosphere of this dry, elevated region.
During this social interval he saw little of his father, though he was still occupying his share of the private dining-room suite at the Inter-Mountain.
