equip us with "tin pants," which are merely khaki riding 

 trousers with reinforced seat heavily paraffined. After 

 several hours climbing up steep snow drifts we are told 

 to simply sit down and lift 

 up our feet, and, if we are 

 lucky, we may accomplish 

 a graceful slide. 



From Seattle our rail 

 journey is continued south 

 to Portland, Oregon, where 

 we should stop at least for 

 a day in order to enjoy the 

 scenic motor drive over the 

 Columbia River Highway. 

 The next Park to be visited 

 is the Crater Lake Park, in 

 southern Oregon. The 

 train is left at Medford, 

 Oregon, where automobile 

 stages will carry us to the 

 Park some 84 miles distant. 

 Stages operate daily to 

 Crater Lake during the 

 Park season, July 1 to Sep- 

 tember 30. The National 

 Park takes its name from 

 the lake of extraordinary 

 blue in the crater of an ex- 

 tinct volcano whose sides 

 average from 800 to 1,000 

 feet high. An excellen 

 lodge stands on the rim of 



the crater. An easy trail NELLY

runs down to the waters the camera and does not bel 



edge and motor-boat trips may be made around the lake. 



Here also some of the finest trout fishing may be had. 



A road has been built entirely around the rim of the lake, 



giving fascinating views of 

 the lake lying below at 

 nearly every turn. W e 

 must continue our journey 

 and we motor to Klamath 

 Falls, Oregon, which is at 

 the end of a branch line of 

 the Southern Pacific. How- 

 ever, a through sleeper is 

 waiting to take us to San 

 Francisco. This special 

 sleeper is picked up on the 

 main line at Weed, Cali- 

 fornia, where a splendid 

 opportunity is had to view 

 snow - crowned Mount 

 Shasta. 



If we had time we might 

 stop at Red Bluff Califor- 

 nia, and engage an automo- 

 bile for a trip to the Lassen 

 Volcanic National Park. 

 Lassen Peak, the only ac- 

 tive volcano in the United 

 States, is the chief scenic 

 feature of the Park. We 

 journey on, however, to 

 San Francisco.
