 region to be seen thoroughly only by the experienced 

 mountaineer. 



Going west, across the Sound, one may enter a vaca-

Lakes, streams and the beauty peaks of the Forests of Oregon 

 and Washington are some of the scenic treasure belonging to 

 you and inviting you to plan your vacation for this season so 

 you may visit your Forests. 



crowning glory in old Mount Olympus. Here, nestling 

 at its base, are the jewel lakes, Quinault, Crescent and 

 Cushman. Or going east from Seattle the traveler will 

 come to Lake Chelan, that Norwegian fjord in its inland 

 setting of towering mountains, or the Wenatchee For- 

 est with its lakes: Kaches, Keechelus and Cle Elum. 

 Still further east is a country as yet unknown to the 

 tourist, the Colville Forest, where a pack outfit must 

 be one's motor car, Pullman and diner. 



Throughout the twenty-two National Forests of the 

 North Pacific District the tourist will find 425 forest 

 camps set aside and ready for his use. Eagle Creek, 

 along the Columbia highway, with its tables, benches, 

 stoves, piped water, comfort station, autos and conse- 

 quent crowds the acme of forest camps to Twin Lakes 

 Forest camp on the Washington Forest, the newest, 

 which he can reach only via Jiorseback and where he 

 must rough it, but amid heaven-kissing peaks, all await 

 the traveler. Surely, amid such an array of vacation 

 delights the most fastidious may find something to 



please him, or tiie real mountaineer may find his heart's 

 delight, beside some crystal lake set high in the moun- 

 tain meadow, jewel-flowered, with only the trees, the 

 mountains and the stars for companions. Mountain 

 climbers may add new laurels to their sweating brows, 

 for here are Diamond Peak, The Sisters, Jefferson, Hood, 

 Adams, St. Helens, Rainier, Olympus, Glacier Peak, 

 Baker, Stuart and North Star all with living glaciers, 

 and all well worth the effort of a climb. Nowhere else 

 within the United States can the tourist find such glaciers 

 as to number, size, beauty and interest. Fishing? It 

 is here. Here is where the fish equal to those in the 

 stories may be found. Do you hunt with a camera? 

 Eighteen out of the 22 National Forests have elk ; four 

 have mountain goats ; three mountain sheep and as for 



ON THE OREGON SKYLINE TRAIL 



Spread beneath your feet, as you went your way over this trail 

 through Oregon's scenic mountains, lies a world of loveliness. 

 Lakes and timbered ridges vie with the appeal of high peaks for 

 your attention.

 that you did.
