SUPPORTS ROCKY
MOUNTAIN HIWAY

In a recent issue of the Colorado
Manufacturer and Consumer Mary
Fletcher Finlayson has an excellent
write-up of the Rocky Mountain Hi
way and of Welty Inn at Dubois. In
connection with this write-up excel
lent pictures of the Inn and of the
store II bank at Dubois were shown
The write-up was as follows:
DO you like the unfreQuented by
ways, when you vacation, or are you
content with the same overcrowded
roads that have beef attracting peo-
pie in constant swarms for years and
years? If you belong to the latter
class, you will not be interested in
the Rocky Mountain Highway. You
will wait until thousands of enthus-
iastic tourists have confirmed the
statements of the comparatively few
who are now acquainted with its
beauty. But if you long to pioneer,
without the discomforts and hard
ships of that life; if you desire, oc-
~casionally, to drive through country
which has never been exploited by
tourist companies, you will make
your plans now, to- drive to the yell
lowstone Park this summer, by way
of the Rocky Mountain Highway.
Through mountainous, wooded
country, where fishing and hunting
abound, with towns situated owen
iently along its entire distance
this is what you find, if you set out
from Denver, on this incompatible
road. 1t is, indeed, the rare high
way which takes me-, in the short
distance of six hundred miles,
through or lear seven national for
ests. And, although this highway
takes you over a route yet unfam-
liar to most, it is M of the best
roads of the west, being paved with
concrete part of the way, while the
rest is surfaced with gravel.
Before leaving Colorado, you will
go through the Colorado National
forest, north and west of FIT. Collins.
And just on the other side of the
state line, a few miles beyond Lar
annie, Wyoming, you will find your
self in Medicine Bow National Forest.
Back, for a few miles into Colorado.
and hen into Hayden Forest, in wy
oming. Then a course leading north
by west, going through Lander, and
skirting Washable Forest, and
thence straight 10 Yellowstone Park,
the objective of this highway.

beauty and perfection. it ceases being
a mere artery of traffic, and becomes
an objective in itself. This is the
case with the Rocky Mountain High
way. Half the pleasure of your trip
will have been lost. if, on your way
to Yellowstone Park this summer.
you neglect to a%cquaint yourself with
the beauties along the way. To one
Vh4 1ANag hnnffnu and ffghfnu "a ]
trip through Dubois without stop
ping at least one or two days, would
be an actual disappointment. 1t is
near this little village Of Dubois,
just a hundred miles from Yellow
stone Park, and on the edge OF Teton
National Forest, hat you will find
the finest elk country in the United
States. Here, in season, you may
satisfy your longing TO plunge deep
into a very wilderness. and bring
down big game. Five miles from the
road, you will find yourself in for
est country that has never before
known the foot of the white man.
You win be pioneering. yet with all
the advantages OF guidance by one
who Is acquainted with that country.
Mr.. Welty. OF Dubois. operates the
Welty Inn, a garage in connection.

a bank.
Here are, I'm fact. all the beauties
of the popular resort country. with
the added pleasure OF s%cclusion. No
one likes 10 have others crowding
his path when he is exploring new
country. No one enjoys having n
fish almost upon his hook, and then
seeing II get away because some
party of ~thoughtless strangers sud
denly invades the quiet OF his iso-
lated point OF vantage. II is this
freedom from restraint, this Sc
clusion. that makes Dubois the idyll
