RECORDS OF THE GLACIERS

FEATURE of this region is the readability of its records of glacial action during the ages when America was making. In few other spots do these evidences, in all their variety, make themselves so prominent to the casual eye.

There is scarcely any part of the eastern side where some enormous moraine does not force itself upon passing attention. One of the valley villages, Moraine Park, is so named from a moraine built out for miles across the valley's floor by ancient parallel glaciers.

Scarcely less prominent is the long curving hill called the Mills Moraine, after Enos Mills, the naturalist, who is known in Colorado as "the father of the Rocky Mountain National Park."

In short, this park is itself a primer of glacial geology whose simple, self-evident lessons immediately disclose the key to one of nature's chiefest scenic secrets.
