- Father and the boys are ascending a middle-sized mountain near Washington State’s Teanaway Canyon, and one member of the party is pleased that their goal is not Mount Stuart, which forms the majestic backdrop. The boys would make the summit a lot sooner without their chaperon, but he has to go along to see that they get there all right. The snow bridge was formed by a slide or by great drifts burying the mountain stream in midwinter and being sculptured into an arch by the spring sun and freshets. John Clymer, who is a veteran snow-bridge crosser, says he passes are perfectly safe unless crossed just before Nature has planned to collapse them anyway. Under snow bridges, he testifies, runs ice water.
