Lake inn has several times had to
hang out the IS. r. o. sign. The
popular route is by way of the Rio
Grande Western to Park City, thence
seven miles over the top of the noun
| tainS by KimbalrS stage to Brighton,
drive, or a horseback ride, just as
you prefer, which, for air, view and
sublimity of scenery cannot be sur
passed in all the Wasatch range.
The hotel people, as we'll as the cot
tagers and campers, keep things NOV
