MOUNTAIN
WYOMING.
This mountain is 1,100 feet high, and
between Laramie and Rawlins, for 117
miles, it is constantly in sight. This is
in the Medicine Bow Mountains, one of
the historical ranges of the west, over
which roamed at one time great herds
of Elk, from which the mountain was
named.
Other famous landmarks are also seen
all along this line.
