Galton Range

"I was well repaid for my climb by the remainder of the day's travel, which was through magnificent open forests with patches of prairie sometimes of considerable extent. These forests were the finest it had been my good fortune to see. A splendid species of pine and the larch previously spoken of, with their bright red barks, rose from the ground at ample distances; no brushwood encumbered their feet or offered impediment to the progress of waggons, which might move in every direction."
