Umpqua Canon, 1872. Creator: Robert Swain Gifford
Umpqua Canon, 1872. Canyon of the Umpqua River, Oregon, USA: the road enters the Umpqua Mountains, and is soon involved in the terrors and the gloom of the Umpqua Canon. This is a pass through the mountains, eleven miles in length, with sides twenty-five hundred feet in height. So high are these tremendous walls that it is with difficulty one can discern the blue sky. The wagons go along at the base like tiny insects, and the mules seem to be sensitive to the melancholy character of the place...Listen attentively, and you will hear a feeble trickling below the road, which, the walls reechoing, swell into a low murmur. This is the Umpqua River, a narrow thread of water, which, in the summer and the fall, hides itself under the vegetation of the pass, and steals away unknown and unnoticed. From " Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In, A Delineation by Pen and Pencil of the Mountains, Rivers, Lakes...with Illustrations on Steel and Wood by Eminent American Artists" Vol. I, edited by William Cullen Bryant. [D. Appleton and Company, New York, 1872]
