To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Parry the elevation of the head of Middle Park, about ten miles from the pass on the western slope, which is 8, 949 feet, or 1, 340 feet lower than the mouth of the proposed tunnel 7i miles above. The Hot Springs on the Grand river, 20 miles farther down, he makes 7, 546 feet, showing an average grade from the head of the park to the Hot Springs of about 70 feet to the mile. There is one difficulty that would be encountered upon this route not mentioned in the above report, and that is in the f...orm of avalanches or glaciers, which occur occasionally at two different points near the foot of the pass, upon the moun- tain side south of Clear creek. The mass of snow and ice which accumulates at the head of gulches at these points, loosening next to the mountain by the action of the water from the melt- ing snows, sweeps down the mountain side with a velocity that carries everything before it. At the one above the mouth of Hoope's creek, I saw trees and rubbish which had been driven before the avalanche across the creek, and four or five hundred feet up the northern slope of the valley.
