August Is Hot? 
Not Here! 
Co the Banff-Windermere Highway is open at 
*^last! It took five years to make those fifty- 
seven scenic miles, right over the middle of the 
humped-up Rockies with snow on their stubborn 
heads. 
But now, you can do six thousand miles; see twelve 
American and three Canadian National Parks; and 
never meet any obstacle worse than a view you’ve 
just got to get out and snapshot. 
There are other new roads, opened this year—the 
Lackawanna Trail, from Scranton to Binghamton 
—the Williamsport Trail to Washington—the 
Shenandoah Valley road from Staunton to Luray. 
All the good old favorites, too—that marvellous 
Columbia River Highway—the Adirondacks—the 
White Mountains—California—Quebec— 
There’s just no sense in staying still and being hot. 
Or sticking to the nose-to-tail-light post roads where 
you’ve tried what they have for breakfast at every 
one of the inns. 
Come on! ... . And if you’re not sure of where to 
come to, consult the Condd Nast Travel Bureau 
that knows just as much about motor roads as it 
does about steamships, railroads, hotels and inns. 
Just tell us the size of your car 
and the length of your purse 
and we’ll make a tour to fit.
