turmoil of daily business and domestic 

 cares. Camp life in the Rocky Mountains 

 means days of rare sport and pleasure, fol- 

 lowed by nights of delicious repose— it 

 means revelry in the warm sunshine every 

 day with cool and sequestered nooks always 

 near at hand.

 of fact it has been demonstrated by 

 experience that a summer vacation spent 



much less expensive

 Cars and Reclining Chair Cars (seats free)

 Eliminating the 

 cost of many ar- 

 ticles which camp- 

 ers already own 

 and which natur- 

 ally they would 

 take with them 

 and those articles 

 which may be 

 made at the camp 

 grounds and add- 

 ing the fact that 

 fish and game will 

 form a good part 

 of the food supply, 

 the expense of a 

 trip in the moun- 

 tains will be found 

 to be very low. 

 During July, Au- 

 gust and September anyone enjoying rea- 

 sonable health may camp safely under can- 

 vas in almost any part of Colorado. It is then 

 a question of accessibility in the selection of a 

 camping place. Camping outfits for two, four 

 or six persons may be bought or rented from 

 supply houses in Pueblo, Denver, Colorado 

 Springs or other prominent points at very 

 reasonable prices. The expense of camping 

 will decrease with the size of the party, the 

 per capita rate growing proportionately less.
