out more and this meeting friends
and old faces is not so easy.
1t is said that Manitou ''stung" the
people hard last season and II may
be that is the cause or the fewer
number there this season. There
are not more than nalf as many
people in that resort this year, yet
the tourists in Colorado are greater
in numbers this season than ever be-
fore in the history of the state. They
are not packed at Manitou, but are TO
be found scattered everywhere. The
camp grounds are filled with tourists
cars, the canons are filled with them
no matter where one goes. All along
the line from the time one enters the
foot hills out of Fort Collins, up thru
the gorges of the Big Thompson river
into Estes Park, in all the nooks and
corners in Estes Park proper there
are tourists, some in cottages, some

their tents. The same is true along
the other highways leading into
Estes Park. They are in the hills
around Denver and Boulder. Palmer
Lake has her quota. Up high in the
hills west of Manitou they are to be
seen. Over in the hills in the very
heart of the mountains around Glen
wood Springs you'll find tourists and
part of the state and on over west
to the Creede country and doubtless
still on they are there.
People are Hitting
the High Places
So many are the wonderful places
in Colorado and SO generally used is
the automobile that people are not
flocking to Manitou to remain
month OF more. They are on the
20. hitting the high places. as it were.
They are seeing more Of Colorado

saw. There was n time when tick

Denver with stop at Colorado
Springs. They generally stopped
and made the trip to Denver short
one and then held forth at Colorado
Springs and Manitou the balance of
their stay. Not so now. They pick
up and go and the going is good for
the roads are becoming so conducive
to travel that they see more of Colo
RADIO for the same money than they
could see few years ago.
-Manitou is not holding the people
up this season. II didn't work, very
well last season and so things are
carried on little more like pre-prof-
iteering days. One can get meals at
just as reasonable price as he can
get in any other town wen out from
