“SEE AMERICA FIRST” 
Those who have seen and know the charm of mountain scenery 
in the Rockies, Cascades, Gold Range and Olympics of Montana, 
Washington and British Columbia, and have compared them 
with beauty spots of Europe, say, “See America first.” The 
American people, through acts of Congress, are preserving to 
posterity in national parks these northwest mountain sections. 
Mountaineer clubs and tourist bodies are being organized 
throughout the United States for the purpose of visiting and 
exploring the mountains. Along the line of the Great Northern 
Railway, in Montana and Washington, are two regions of 
sublime beauty. 
1. GLACIER NATIONAL PARK 
This park located in the Rockies of Montana takes in 1,400 
square miles of mountain country, extending north from the 
main line of the Great Northern Railway to the Canadian 
boundary. In its confines are over forty living glaciers and a 
great number of snow capped mountain peaks rising to a height 
of from seven to ten thousand feet above the sea. From their 
source in these pinnacled peaks, sparkling cascades dash down 
the precipitous sides of massive basins of from two to three 
thousand feet, to the numerous deep, clear, cool mountain lakes, 
held gem-like in huge settings of rock walled canons and ever- 
green mountain slopes. 
2 LAKE CHELAN REGION 
This lake lies a short distance north of the main line of the 
Great Northern Railway in Washington and occupies one of 
the deepest, if not the deepest, canons on the earth. Granite 
walls rise above it almost vertically to a height of six thousand 
or more feet above the water’s edge. The lake itself is upwards 
of two thousand feet deep, making altogether a great hole in the 
earth one and one-half miles in depth. The country around the 
lake for over ten thousand square miles is topped with peaks, 
ranging from seven to ten thousand feet above sea level, and 
gridironed with canons, many of which have never been 
entered or explored. In planning your next 
vacation trip, bear these two regions in mind.
