The Mountain View Route 



HIS is what the Northern Pacific-Shasta, or 

 Shasta-Northern Pacific Route — it reads as 



|] well backward as frontward — may well be called. 

 The route takes its name from Mt. Shasta in 

 Northern California. This white, snow-capped peak, at 

 the foot of which the railway winds, is 14,350 feet high. 

 The mountain is in plain view, for several hours, from the 

 train, and its distance from the track varies from twelve 

 to seventy-five miles. 



The beautiful scenery of the Sacramento river at the 

 base of Shasta is connected with this route only. Castle 

 Crags, Mossbrae Falls, the natural twin soda fountains at 

 Shasta Springs, are scenic gems. 



The crossing of the Siskiyou range furnishes the par 

 excellence of railway mountain scenery, and observation 

 cars are provided there free of charge. Then in succession 

 come Mts. Jefferson, Hood — a beautiful mountain — St. 

 Helens, Rainier — 14,532 feet high — and Adams, all former 

 active volcanoes and now covered with glaciers. 



From Portland a steamboat side trip up the noble 

 Columbia river to the Cascades and Dalles enables the 

 tourist to see a river, palisades, waterfalls and mountains 

 far surpassing anything the Hudson can show. 



An opportunity is also given to visit Tacoma, Seattle 

 and the Puget Sound region. 



Then follow the Cascade range and the Rockies, and 

 a stop can be made at Yellowstone Park, during the Park 

 season. 



This line traverses the finest scenic region of the 

 United States — don't forget it, and see that your return 

 tickets home from California read around this way. 



A Pullman Tourist Sleeping Car is run once a week 

 in each direction between San Francisco and St Paul, via 

 this route. 



Send six cents to Chas. S. Fee, Gen. Pass. Agent, 

 St. Paul, Minn., for Wonderland 1901 and for rates, etc.
