GLIMPsES OF COLORADO

One of the 0cala friends of Miss
Shellie SOuter, now touring the west,
has. received the following letter
from that young lady:
/ have been in Colorado about a
month now and in addition to taking
three courses toward credit on my
masters degree, have had nearly
1000 miles of auto sightseeing thru
the Rockies. The first weekend
went to Cheyenne, Wyo., and took in
the Frontier Days. That is one of
the biggest celebrations in the west.
1t lasts for a week and the gate re-
ceipts this year were about 500, 900.
1t is an exhibition of frontier stunts,
lassoing, riding, etc The next week
end l saw the Pixies Peak trip and
then took the Lookout Mountain trail
and stood beside the Mecca of Colo
rado. The grave Of William Cody,
otherwise Buffalo Bill, the Garden of
the Gods, Cave of the Winds, Colorado
Springs, Manitou and Denver all come
in the Pixies Peak trip. Yesterday I
took 150-mile auto ride thru Col
orado National Park. This was the
most wonderful experience yet Part
of the time we rode at an altitude Of
10000 feet and saw Longs Peak, the
highest in Colorado, and others Of the
Araphahoe range. stretching away IN
their eternal snow toward the west.
Then we rode in the canyon where the
cliffs stood straight up beside rs
$4,000 to $1,000 feet high, and we
rode around the narrow driveway 100
miles, first by one mountain stream
and then another as they come foam
ing down from their source above the
clouds. never thought of this as
a fish country but the fish of these
streams are among the finest
of the earth.
The mountains merely are not the
only beauties of Colorida. can stand
here in Boulder on the Chautauqua
Hill and face the west and the world
is in front of me-right straight up
to the sky and stretching away IN q
chain of snowy peaks, making 3 great
crescent as they fade away on q green
plateau to the north. Face around 70
the east and the fertile plain stretches
away to eternity. This is made beau
tiful with yellow grain, green fields
of corn, alfalfa, trees, etc. This, too,
is dotted with small lakes and noun
tain streams as far as vision goes
and over this plain you see here and
there beautiful little homes Of brick
and stone. I say it is like dream
too beautiful to be true.
/ am meeting charming people
from everywhere, too. Mrs Hood,
Margie, Mrs. Hoods daughters, Mrs.
Lyons and Mrs. Collier. are also here
among the crowd
/ shall always love the great, beau
tiful, wonderful west, and next year
hope to see even more.
