origin of this Now York winter hunt
Among the wonIer8 , and perils of the Big :
horn canyon In 10rther Wyoming are the
Razor reef . the Corkscrew cascades and the
Water'Jnhls .
The Hnzor reef Is a ledge of rock which
. extends entirely across the Dig Horn river ,
lifting itself to within n short distance
of the water's surfaco. I owes its pecular I
name to its being stullle,1 ( , , with upright and
- sharp razor.lke rocks. I was on this '
_ _ _ reef that the boat at a party of Sheridan ,
- - \'yo. , canyon explorers was so nearly cut to
IJleces last year
The Corkscrew cascades hurl themselves
for hundreds of feet down the face of an
almost perpendicular cliff , tbo waters havIng
worn deep and IJrpentne channels In the
rock surfaca.
_ _ _ - The name of the Water Walls Is applied
to a woii-hiko and apparently fathomless
. opening In the river surface lt the foot of
