Glenwood canyon, where the road follows the
Canyon of the Grand River to Glenwood Springs.
At Rife, the highway turns northward from the
railroad, through Meeker, Colo, Vemal, ROose-
welt and Duchesne, Utah, to Provo and Salt Lake
City. AT the Mormon capital it has several con-
~nections westward, both to the north and south
of the lake, via the Lincoln highway through
Reno to San Francisco, or the road by way of
Tonopah to either Los Angeles or San Francisco.
A look at the map will show that the Pixies
Peak Ocean to Ocean highway crosses the cen
trail part of the United States in a line as straight
as the contour of the country will permit; that
it ~traverses a section rich in natural resources,
of diversified commercial agricultural and mining
interest; of varying topography; a section of the
United States of historic associations, and that
it cuts through the heart Of the Rocky mountains
and makes accessible magnifcence and grandeur
unrivaled in all the world.
To demonstrate the feasibility of this highway,
there was held last summer an official inspection
trip from st. Joseph to Colorado Springs, fol
lowed by a reliability run from that point to Salt
Lake City. Regarding that portion of the road
between st, Joseph and Colorado Springs a mem
Der of the official party said: This tour holds
no dreariness, no WEAKNESS, no monotony. This
is pleasant thoroughfare. The meeting that was
the forerunner of this trail was held in March,
1912, and so busy have the promoters been that
you can speed along the whole way at a rate of
from twenty-five to t~hirty-five miles an hour
and we did. Markers everywhere tell you when
and how to turn. Hospitality greets you on
every hand. There are long, level stretches in
Kansas; you'd be disappointed il there weren't.
You run through them just long enough to get
enjoyment out Of the scene, and then you dip
Town into the most delicious valleys and around
wooded trails and through bosky dells. You
always think of toiling OK teams and clouds Of
dust and a dreadful thirst when you turn your
mind toward western Kansas. But the real truth
is that travelling through this country-and east
ern Colorado as WELLS a delightful surprise. You
get just enough of everything you've heard about
as being there, and never too much. You see
jack rabbits, and prairie dogs, and sod houses,
and tumble weed-and silos and cornields-
c~ornfelds extending as far over the divide as you
can see--and wheat until your eyes get tired OF
distance. Eastern Colorado is the biggest sur.
prise. You are fascinated throughout by the
scenery, the spirit Of the country and the history,
told you by men and by silent landmarks and
tokens along the way"

he has seen the grandeur and beauty OF the ROCKY

pinecovered hills. The bright colors OF the ROCK

lively smooth hills; a great rock basin, miles across,
lies before us; we catch glimpses of snoW-capped
mountains 80 miles away. We climb through pic.
turesuue weeded hills, and as we reach the top OIL a
small pass get our first view of South park-a great
tableland, 20 miles long and 40 wide. Beyond, a
winding road leads to Buena Vista, and as we follow
I'D the Arkansas river, we pass over the Eye Brow
road. 1t is not long until we catch glimpses OF Twin
lakes-great crystal gems that nestle about the
feet of towering mountains. A boulevard leads 10
Leadville, world-famed mining camp, and the hlgn.

to the Continental divide-Tennessee pass, Two
miles above sea level. The road is smooth as a
boulevard, and the upgrade is only A per cent. After
leaving the Continental divide the road runs over
an abandoned railroad grade around and through
a valley Of indescrible charm; we pass into a rugged
canyon to the town of Red Cliff and begin the as

until at last we pass out of the canyon directly
into the delightful resort Of GlenWooo springs.
The ride to Rifle is most refreshing; IN place OF
the ruggedness of the awesome canyon, we have
a broad fertile valley, framed by gently rising
bright red mountains. Here the Pixies Peak
Ocean to Ocean highway leaves the railroad and
turns north, through a country of quiet, pleasing
but varied beauty, to Meeker, an inland town in
the broad, fertile valley of White river. After
leaving the rich, irrigated land, much OF the coun-
try is not particularly interesting, and between
Rangely and the Utah line is the only section of
desert. 25 miles, traversed by this highway. AS
soon as we cross over into Utah we reach a
graded road, through fiat lakeland skirted with
rolling, rocky hills. Jensen on the Green river
is surrounded by a fertile, wellcultivated valley,
and it is most refreshing to come into this pros
porous agricultural country which continues as
we go westward through the Uintah basin. To
the weary traveller, Vernal is an oasis in a des-
ert; some day a railroad will run through this
country, and when it does, this will be one Of the
richest and most desirable sections In the West.
We pass through Fort Duchesne, an abandoned
military fort; then on to Roosevelt and Myton,
both new, modern, progressive towns. All the
way from the Utan line TO DucneSne we nave

roads to the railroad; one to Cotton, 81 miles, and
the other to Heber, 80 miles. The road to Provo

modern city. picturesquely located between the
mountains and Utah lake, and is an attractive
place to visit. A SPLENDID graded road, running

roads. They are named and marked, mapped

The latest of the transcontinental highways
is the Pixies Peak Ocean to Ocean highway. This
road is being developed by an association re-

state units.
The Pixies Peak Ocean to Ocean highway has
a distinctive organization from Terre Haute, Ind,

at both these termini. At Terre Haute 1t joins
