The " Gate of theKocky Mountains," as Lewis and Clarke have called the gorge through which theunited waters escape to the jjlaius, is flanked by granite walls, rising nearly 1,350Fig. 98.Gate of the Rockies and Missouei Falls.Scale 1 : 750.000.We.t oF Ifeet sheer above the stream. The bed of the Missouri, pent up between thesegloomy ramparts, is scarcely 500 feet wide, and ledges large enough to afloi'dstanding room between the cliffs and the current occur only at long intervals.But even at the outlet of this cafion the mountain barriers have not yet beenpierced through and through. The foot hills of the main range have still to betraversed by other romantic ravines, by which the Missouri descends to the plainsin a succession of foaming cataracts. The series of falls and rapids has a collectiveincline of IGO feet in a distance of about 11 miles. At the Great Falls, last andfinest of the series, the stream is precipitated in a single sheet a height of 80 feet.During the floods boats ascend to the very foot of these falls, and above the
