AMERICAN FORESTRY 



beauty well describes the beautiful drive over the new 

 Logan Canyon road, through the Cache Forest in north- 

 em Utah, and for good measure, at the end of the drive, 

 Bear Lake. Unusually beautiful in its setting, with ideal 

 beaches and camp sites, fine fishing and boating, this lake 

 is rapidly winning its place in the hearts of those who 

 travel. 



Mount Timpanogos, bearing the only remnant in 

 Utah of the great alpine glaciers of the Ice Age, is one 

 of the many features which brought nearly 50,000 visit- 

 ors to the Wasatch Forest last season. The city of Salt 

 Lake, the smaller cities of Provo, American Fork, Lehi 

 and others nearby are uniting with the Forest Service in 

 making accessible the recreational resources of the 

 Wasatch Forest and stimulating their use. Community 

 camps, organized climbs to the summit of "Old Tim," a 

 newly discovered and truly wondrous cave in American 

 Fork Canyon, pack trips into the back country, and other 

 features are of more than ordinary interest. 



On south, we come to Fishlake, in the National Forest 

 of that name, its bed 9,000 feet above sea level, seven 

 miles long, two wide, exceedingly deep, and abounding 

 in native and imported varieties of trout. Many steel- 

 head and mackinaw are taken here weighing from 12 to 

 20 pounds. 



Bryce Canyon, on the edge of the Sevier Forest, and 

 Zion Canyon have in the past few years won rapid recog- 

 nition. Bryce Canyon is a scenic gem, presenting to 

 the eye a marvelously beautiful array of towers, spires, 

 minarets, fortresses and cathedrals in every color of the 

 rainbow. 



The Kaibab Plateau, with its wonderful body of yel- 

 low pine timber, its vast herds of protected deer, and 

 the Kaibab squirrel, found nowhere else, constitutes an 

 outdoor attraction which is certainly a fitting approach 

 to the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, which bounds it on 

 the south. 



And here we are all the way from the Tetons to the 

 Canyon where we must stop because the editor says so, 

 and not a word has been said of the Uintas, of the Nat- 

 ural Bridges, and Cliff Dwellings of the La Sal in Utah, 

 of Lamoille Canyon and the Rubies, Lehman Cave, or 

 Mt. Wheeler, in Nevada, Big Springs or the Big Falls of 

 the Snake on the Targhee Forest, the Salmon River 

 Gorge, the Thunder Mountain country, Payette Lakes, or 

 a hundred others of which much might be said. But 

 blame the editor for this and come this summer and look 

 them up. The District Forester, Forest Service, Ogden 

 Utah, will gladly answer inquiries and the Service or- 

 ganization in the Intermountain District will do all it can 

 to make your visit a pleasant one.
