The narrator details a strenuous expedition from Greeley to Collins via the Cache la Poudre, packing a full camp kit, provisions, and a broncho wagon. They travel through La Porte and Livermore, marvel at mountain scenery, face a steep peril on a rocky hill, camp by Batterson’s ranch, and end with plans to return home. The piece blends travelogue with reflections on nature and ascent.
