Scene in Monument Park, along Monument Creek, and the small tributaries that flow into it from the west, some of the most singular and unique monument formations to be met with in the whole country, and the view we have noted gives but a faint conception of their beauty.

The light colored sandstones below are weathered into most singular columnar...
