 All streets of the mountains lead to the citadel1; steep or slow they go up to the core of the hills. Any trail that goes otherwhere must dip and cross, sidle and take chances. Rifts2 of the hills open into each other, and the high meadows are often wide enough to be called valleys by courtesy; but one keeps this distinction in mind,—valleys are the sunken places of the earth, canons are scored out by the glacier3 ploughs of God. They have a better name in the Rockies for these hill-fenced open glades4 of pleasantness; they call them parks. Here and there in the hill country one comes upon blind gullies fronted by high stony5 barriers. These head also for the heart of the mountains; their distinction is that they never get anywhere.
 
All mountain streets have streams to thread them, or deep grooves6 where a stream might run. You would do well to avoid that range uncomforted by singing floods. You will find it forsaken7 of most things but beauty and madness and death and God. Many such lie east and north away from the mid8 Sierras, and quicken the imagination with the sense of purposes not revealed, but the ordinary traveler brings nothing away from them but an intolerable thirst.
 
The river canons of the Sierras of the Snows are better worth while than most Broadways, though the choice of them is like the choice of streets, not very well determined9 by their names. There is always an amount of local history to be read in the names of mountain highways where one touches the successive waves of occupation or discovery, as in the old villages where the neighborhoods are not built but grow. Here you have the Spanish Californian in Cero Gordo and pinon; Symmes and Shepherd, pioneers both; Tunawai, probably Shoshone; Oak
