railway "around the circle"

railway "around the circle"
The Denver & Rio Grande railroad,
which from its enterprise and push
has been aptly termed the "Pioneer
Line and which has now earned for
itself the broader characterization of
The Scenic Line Of the World" has
scaled the cliffs, penetrated the
canons, climbed the mountains,
leaped the rivers and traversed the
valleys Of Colorado SO completely that
there is scarcely any scene of grand.
eur so hidden by nature that it has
not been brought plainly and easily
into view.
II one desires to visit Colorado
Springs and Manitou, the San Luis
Valley, via La Veta Pass, behold Toll
tee Gorge, pass through Durango,
penetrate Las Animas Canon, enter
Bakers Park, cross the mountains
from Silverton to Ouray over the
famous Toll Road, or through the
beautiful San Juan via the Rio Grande
Southern, through weird Lost Canon,
the wonderful Ophir Loop under the
shadow Of the majestic Mt. Sneflles,
and gaze upon the marvels Of the
Black Canon, Curecanti Needle, Mar
shall Pass and Royal Gorge, If such
trip is desired, it is expressed in a
single phrase, Take the Trip Around
the Circle"
In a general way one may consider
the southwestern part Of Colorado as
forming the famous "San juan"
great expanse Of mountains, hills,
valleys, upland, meadows and forests.
Here gold, silver, coal, copper and
iron mines abound, some of them the
richest and most productive in the
world. Agriculture hourishes in the
valleys, the hills are populous with
game, the streams are alive with
trout, and the forests furnish timber
Of excellent quality and inexhaustible
quantity.
Nowhere else in the old or new
world can there be found grander or
more varied scenery. The canons,
passes, wales and parks afford endless
combinations Of beauty and magnif-
cence, appealing to every emotion Of
the soul and sweeping the entire
diapason OF human thought.
From Durango, which is the nae.
tropolis Of The San Juan, the Rio
Grande Southern Railroad extends to |
the westward into the hitherto almost
inaccessible region OF the Cliff |
Dwellers and then circling to the
northward connects with the Denver
& Rio Grande line at Ridgway. This
comparatively recent extension Of
this marvellous railroad has added |
largely to the list Of attractions in
the way Of scenic and historic interest,
to say nothing Of its commercial
value.

canons Of Colorado, being situated on
the main line Of Denver & Rio Grande
between Canon City and Salida, in
the Front Range Of the Rockies, it is
the most spectacular, awe-inspiring
aud magnificent. Down this mighty
cleft in the heart Of the granite rock
barrier rush the raging waters OF the
Arkansas River. dashed into foaming
fury and dashed into spuming spray
by its swift descent through the tor
tuous deiie. So narrow is the pas
sage at one point that there was no
room for both road and river, and
therefore curiously constructed
bridge of steel had to be thrown
Of the stream, suspended
from iron supports mortised into the
canon walls on each side to the right
aud left. And right here can be seen
the climax Of all the great canon's
grandeur, that which has been aptly
called 1.-The Royal Gorge" For two
thousand six hundred feet the solid
monoliths soar upward, five times as
lofty as the Washington monument,
the highest permanent structure
reared by the hand Of man. No
words can adequately describe the
magniicence Of the scene. Only
those who have beheld its glories can
appreciate them.
There are many more wonders
which have not been mentioned, and
there are numerous canons which
have not been referred to; enough
has been said, however. for all des-
cription is inadequate and only those
who see can know.
The Denver g. Rio Grande being a
part Of a great through trans-conti-
mental line, the journey continues on
via the Rio Grande Western to Salt
Lake City and Ogden and thence to
the Pacific coast.
From the Grand Junction one rides
through the beautiful fruit valley OF
the Grand river and the train ascends
the range to the Soldier Summit.
Finally from your car window you
catch glimpses Of the quaint, curious
and picturesque City Of Salt Lake,
with its broad avenues OF shade and
martial rows Of cotton woods and tall
poplars bending in the gentle sum.
mer breezes.
In the distance is that marvellous
body Of salt water-the Great Salt
Lake-which is rivaled only in its
saline properties by the Dead Sea Of
Galilee. Hourly, during the season,
the railroad carries its throng Of
bathers and pleasure seekers to
"Saltair," a resort Of magnificent
proportions,
1t is a wonderful trip, where nature
has fashioned her pictures more beau
tifully than ever conceived by the
genius OF man. None should visit
Colorado without takingit.
