In the earlier days scariely a season came without its catastrophe to the cattle, though In a few years the older stuff that had survived had so learned what awaited them at the far end of the that they had onlv lightning streak to be started, required no guiding, eoaxing or persuading. Once in a while a critter would get wedged in a ercvice in seeking a shortcut or a drink from a pocket, and, in fact, today, with a trail authorized as a safe tourist trail for riding horses by the national park service, crowding cattle are not immune from being pushed from the path. The water pockets m the bottoms of the cronies are as attractive to the cattle as trail As climbing is exhausting to them. the running stream subsides in sand and muck clog up the quieterspring, holes and entangle the tired legs of the animals. Jam the sidewalls against the drinking animals expanding sides so it cannot turn around, and a a rope or a skinning knife may be necessary to save the brand, though seldom the whole cow. Several of these twisting, narrow and nearly lightless chasms are within one or two miles of the place where their water rains out of the rocks at dripping springs near the foot of the cable, and a sight of them is well worth the trouble to any climber todav. The1 trail make several hundred feet altitude while zigzagging immediately under the cable, but at seven or eight hundred feet it lead off over a shonl der or a wrinkle, to be more truthful toward the east.
