back a few American horizons Why shouldn't you join the thousands who will visit the Pacific Coast this year? When you see the Pacific Coast, see it all. No one city, no one sector is complete without the changing, blending, majestic background of this Pacific land. You have choice of Southern Pacific's four great routes. Go one way, return another. Let this pioneer railroad, interpreter of the West, show you the whole Pacific Coast. For example, you can go west by any northern United States or Canadian line. You will take Shasta Route at Seattle, and thence down through the "Evergreen Playground of the Pacific Northwest" to California. You will see Puget Sound,—Seattle and Tacoma; Mt. Baker and Rainier National Park. Portland, and the Columbia River Highway through mighty gorges and around Mt. Hood. Crater Lake National Park. The alpine lakes of the Cascade line of the Shasta Route, or the river valleys, orchards and farms of the alternative Siskiyou Line to California. Mt. Shasta, Lassen Volcanic National Park. Or, if you wish to detour by motor coach in southern Oregon and northern California, a ride through the Redwood Empire with its vast, age-old trees and glimpses of the craggy shore of the Pacific. Berkeley and Oakland. San Francisco and the Golden Gate. Here is the largest Chinatown outside of China; cosmopolitan streets; smart shops and famous bazaars, and many scenic golf courses. Jaaw Then southward—Span- Wfti ish Missions. Santa Cruz n Beach and Big Trees, 3Jr 113 miles along the Pa- ^B .^^^ cific's shore. Or,by alter- ^Ep-^mH| native route,the inland I valleys with their access ■f to Yosemite (now connected with Lake Tahoe by famous Tioga Pass highway tour), General Grant and Sequoia National Parks,and the High Sierra. Then, Los Angeles, Catalina Island but two hours away,its neighboring cities —Long Beach and Pasadena, the oil fields and orange groves, Coronado with exotic Agua Caliente, Old Mexico, nearby, and homeward by either Sunset Route via San An- >oC*Hfor, tonio, Houston and New Orleans; Golden State Route via El Paso, Kansas City and Chicago, or Overland Route (Lake Tahoe Line), San Francisco to Chicago, via Great Salt Lake. Or, you can reverse the direction, going west by the southern or central lines and returning via the northern lines. You can take Southern Pacific steamship from New York to New Orleans, or go to New Orleans by rail, then by Sunset Route across Louisiana, Texas and the Southwest with a bit of Old Mexico at Juarez, just across the line from El Paso, and in Arizona the Apache Trail highway—on to San Diego (via Carriso Gorge) or to Los Angeles and up the Pacific Coast. Stopover anywhere. Hawaii and the Orient lie just beyond. The low excursion fares will go into effect on May 15, return limit October 31. For example —roundtrip fare Chicago to California, #90.30; from New York, $138.32; Des Moines, $81.55; from New Orleans, $89.40. Send your name and address to E. W. Clapp» Dept. A34,31 o So.
