BLACK BASALT AS you journey along the new Eglington Valley motor road your attention will be arrested by the great wall of eight thousand feet of black basalt that constitutes the Crosscut Range and Mt. Christina. Should you have the good fortune to witness a sunset in these parts, when the last rays of a dying sun magically trans--form those black rocks into burnished gold, and the snow-white peaks are suffused to a crimson glow, then you will vow to yourself that for this sight alone the trip was well worth making. The illustration on the left depicts Mt. Christina and Crosscut Range as seen across a verdure-filled valley from Key Summit.
