In the Open — The National Forests of Washington 



Thirty 



At the top of the divide — Rainier National Forest 



A passable road extends up the Cowlitz Valley to Lewis, where there is a hotel 

 and store. A trail leads from Lewis to Packwood Lake. Levds is i6 miles by 

 trail from Longmire Springs. From Lewis the Chanapecosh Hot Springs are 

 reached b}^ a 14-mile trip, partly by road and the remainder by trail. The Goat 

 Rocks are high snow peaks about 15 miles distant from Lewis, situated in a region 

 that is particularly attractive. 



A graded trail extends from Longmire Springs to Mount Adams, at the south 

 end of the Forest. This trail leads through a country of many scenic attractions 

 and makes a foot or horseback trip well worth while. 



The Chain of Lakes country is a high but comparatively level region just below 

 the snow hills on the Vv^est slope of Mount Adams. It is a favorite berry-picking 

 and hunting ground of the Indians, who go there by hundreds during the latter 

 part of August. 



The traveler may proceed from the Chain of Lakes to Glenwood, or Trout Lake, 

 and thence to Portland by stage and train. The entire trip from Tacoma by Long 

 mire Springs, Chain of Lakes, Glenwood, or Trout Lake, to Portland may be made
