But they know nothing of the departure from Great Salt Lake-a worlds wonder in itself-the climb in the dawn through 70 miles of snow sheds to the crest of the Sierras and the downward leap of the train from the deep midsummer snow through sev- en climates m seven hours to the tropical richness of the Sacramento valley and the salt breeziness of San Francisco.
