ghter, Florence B. Evers VI, d., OF
West King street, have returned
home after having spent the month
of August in camping, aat2moDll'
ing and mountain climbing through
the mountains. Describing the
trip they said today:
On their way west they were
joined at Pittsburgh by NJ. and
Mrs. Paul B. Evans and his broth
er-in-law, Mr.. Peterson, This par
ty OF five toured over G,000 miles.
The first place visited was Yellow
stone National Park. They enter
ed the park by Cody, being driven
in an automobile through the Sho-
shone River Canyon, crossing the
Continental Divide by sylvia Pass,
a distance of 90 miles, until the
park was rea he'd near Pahaska
Tepee Will II Tho park they had
the privilege r. SEEING some Of tho
most wonderful seysers gush At
Grand Canyon they climbed down
into the bottom by Uncle Toms
trail which has a depth of 1900
feet, to the foot of the lower falls.
This canyon is most beautifully
painted by the rainbow cOlors. In
this canyon many osprey build
their nests in the most inacccssi-
ne points, bat with high powered
field glasses tho party enjoyed this
nature study at close range. From
Canyon Camp Mount Washburn is
climbed, which. as tho traveller
approaches, seems almost inacces-
sible. but one can scale to the top
and behold the park as 1t can be
seen IN no other way. The tourist
feels wonderfully repaid for the ten
thousand foot climb. Here the par
ty witnessed a terrific hail storm,
with thunder and lightning which
cleared away in half an hour fol-
lowed by the brightest OF sunshine.
The party had the sensation of
floating In the clouds while the
storm lasted. This park is truly a
wonder land at every turn. Every
thing possible is done for the com
fort of the tourists by day and
night. At night each camp built
large camp fires, community sing
ing and familiar songs We're enjoy
ed by all and good stories were
told. At Canyon Camp the poet,
Henry Van Dyke, himself camp
or, entertained the camp in his
most delightful manner. He had
spent esnteen NUNS ~. M i i1,tUp11
