Patrick Gass: July 25, 1805
On a fine morning, the expedition set out at the usual time and passed a beautiful plain along the north side of the river. By 2 o'clock they reached the entrance of another mountain chain, where they stopped for dinner before continuing on. Pushing through the range, they navigated some difficult rapids separated by stretches of good water. These mountains were lower and less rocky than the previous range. They noted six fine springs on the southern shore about four miles above the range's entrance, traveled 16 miles total, and camped on the north side.
