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.
