"The Country here is almost entirely solid sand rock, high hills and mountains cut all to pieces by deep gulches which are in many places altogether impassable. It is certainly the worst country I ever saw, some of our party are of the opinion that a road could be made if plenty of money was furnished but that most of us are satisfied that there is no us(e) of this company undertaking to get through to San Juan this way."
Platte D Lyman, Dec 1897
