Beautiful looking country and if they would have known that it was full of gold they would have built a cabin and stuck it out until they had good weather.

The majority of the party did stayed behind to continue trapping for beaver on multiple tributaries up into the lower foothills. Smith left instructions if he did not return by September they were to sell the pelts then head for home. They must of been totally focused on beaver not to see all that free gold under foot.
