Haydens Cathedral, Uinta Mountains. Vast piles of purplish compact quartzite, resembling Egyptian pyramids on a gigantic scale, without a trace of soil, vegetation, or water. One of these remarkable structures stands out isolated from the rest, in the middle of the valley of Smiths Fork, which was estimated to rise 1,500 feet above its base, and so much like a Gothic church did it appear that members of the Survey gave it the name of Haydens Cathedral. View shows with remarkable clearness their horizontal stratification. They are as regular as the steps of a pyramid, and as the snow rests upon each step, it relieves them in the strongest manner. Summit County, Utah. 1870.
