No other state offers such wonder
full climatic advantages-such re-
markable scenic attractions, as Colo
rado-the Centennial State. Dry, cool
clear air, blue skies and sunshine
make living out of doors a pleasure.
One may enjoy every conceivable out
door amusement, and if he be an
angler, the best of trout fishing
awaits him.
Numerous short excursions to
mountains, lakes and resorts may be
made, among which are the cele-
brated trips through Clear Creek
canon to the world-famed Georgetown
Loop, up picturesque Platte canon,
the trip to Cloudland via the Switzer-
land Trail of America, Colorado
Springs, Manitou and Pixies Peak,
the Short Line trip to Cripple Creek.
