14 FOREST OUTINGS 



These roads have been planned and made to give more comfortable access 

 to the forests, yet not intrude unduly. They offer to the tourist a great va- 

 riety of picturesque driving possibilities. The Mount Hood Loop Road in 

 Oregon, first following along the mighty Columbia River, then swirling 

 upward to circle this beautiful volcanic summit; the Galena Summit Road 

 in Idaho, switchbacking up to and down from this lofty pass; the Mogollon 

 Rim Drive, skirting for miles along the top of massive Arizona Cliffs; the 

 Evans Notch Road, leading in graceful curves among the rugged hardwood 

 slopes of the White Mountains these are a few of the new main roads into 

 great new forests, or into older forests, tended and renewed. And thousands 

 of miles of new trails have been built, mainly by CCC boys, into the forests, 

 for the people's use. They vary from easy footways over level or rolling 

 country to steep trails scaling rocky summits far above timber line. These 

 trails are marked with arrow pointers, plainly; back to comfort and civiliza- 

 tion; on to somewhat lonely natural wonders, beauty spots, or heights. 



But you have to make the journey on your own leg and lung power and 

 learn again in some measure how to take care of yourself in far places, with 

 no corner drug store near, and with the unpredictable beat of the weather 

 on you, if you really want to return for a while to nature.
