Mexico). In northern Arizona the region about Flag- 

 staff, on the Coconino and Tusayan Forests also has de- 

 lightfully cool summers. 



Portions of the Tonto and Coronado Forests of south- 

 ern Arizona, because of their comparatively low elevations, 

 have mild winter climates suitable for persons who de- 

 sire winter outings among the picturesque semi-arid 

 mountains. Within the Tonto Forest lies the famous 

 Roosevelt Dam forming a lake some 20 miles long 



from which the Salt River valley secures its irrigation 

 water. 



The recreational development of the southwestern For- 

 ests has not been as rapid as that in other parts of the 

 west and this unique country is little known. A trip into 

 it, however, will reveal a world of interesting things 

 found only in this great land of sunshine. Write to the 

 District Forester, Albuquerque, New Mexico, for more 

 complete information.

FROM the lofty Tetons of Wyoming south to the 

 Kiabab Plateau and the Grand Canyon from the 

 eastern boundary of Utah west into Central Nevada, in 

 District Four, a new vacation land is steadily winning 

 recognition among the great out-door attractions of the 

 West. Recreation seekers to the number of 200,000 last

 more. 



Jackson's Hole and Grand Teton surley no one can 

 say he has "done" the West without a trip into the 

 "Hole," where the romance and thrill of the early West 

 still lingers where the great herds of elk make their 

 winter quarters and where each summer day may be 

 devoted to a different phase of real outdoor enjoyment. 

 No range in America excels in rugged grandeur the Te- 

 ton Peaks. No region could be more enticing to the 

 camper, hunter, fisherman, or lover of the beautiful in 



Nature than that land of forests, lakes, and mountain 

 streams which lies at their feet. 



Central Idaho and the Sawtooth, for many years 

 known, appreciated and loved by those hardier ones who 

 would not wait for highways, and now that the auto 

 roads are reaching into the heart of the region, calling 

 increasing thousands from all parts of the country to 

 share its boundless variety of summer pleasures. 



There are still those who like to leave the beaten paths 

 and with pack outfits seek out the less accessible and 

 often the. most interesting sections. For these a trip 

 along the upper South Fork of the Payette River, clear 

 to its source and the source of other rushing rivers across 

 the great Payette Game Preserve, into that jumble of 

 lordly Sawtooth peaks and emerald lakes, will surely 

 measure up to every anticipation.
