A fine grove of box-elders on the right just above this gate, offered an attractive camping place, and there we stopped.
We were now in Utah again, having crossed the boundary somewhere in Whirlpool Canyon.

The altitude was 4940 feet, showing a descent in Whirlpool Canyon of 140 feet in a distance of 14-1/4 miles.

The next day I went with Beaman and Clem with a boat back to the foot of Whirlpool Canyon, in order that Beaman might get some views.

It was a hard pull, and we discovered that what appears sluggish going down, is often the reverse to a boat going up.

We could make headway only by keeping very close to the bank.
