The most beautiful mountain region in the world. Describing a few points of interest along the way. The limited trains that cross the country, that have every comfort and convenience of hotel life, find greatest favor with the tourist's and traveling public on account oi their quick service to distant points. The Colorado Midland train which leaves Denver every morning gives the traveling public the same elegant car service as the Overland Limited, pullman sleepers with beautiful toilet rooms and the best Observation car with smoking room and reading room and a chance to view the grandest mountain scenery on earth. Leaving Denver, the run of seventy four miles to Colorado Springs gives th« traveler a chance to see the results of irrigation in the substantial farm houses throughout the Valley, while to the right are the foothills, with the enow covered peaks in the distance, tht> most prominent of which is Longs Peak, 14,271 feet; Grays Peak, 14,411 feet; Torrys Peak 14,336 feet and long before we reach Colorado Springs, Pikes Peak, looms up prominently be fore us to the height of 14,108 feet. From Colorado Springs to Cheyenne Mountain where Helen Hunt perished in the snow; Bald Mountain and Pikes Peak tower with their snow covered summits way above the clouds. Leaving Colorado Springs we pass through Colorado City once the Capital of the State. Then on into Manitou, the widely known health resort at the foot of Pikes peak. From there one can take the Cog Railroad which ex tends to the top of Pikes peak and car ries more passengers every year than any road of its kind in the world. Leaving Manitou our train climbs the moantain up through Ute pass, where the roadbed is blasted out of solid rock. Manitou and Colorado Springs are away below us now and the vast plains of the Great American Desert extend ing off to the East, dotted with Lakes and farm houses makes a scene never to be forgotten. We cross a high bridge then through a short tunnell and soon reach Green Mounain Palls, a summer resort very largely patronized by people from all parts of the world. The three great water falls that come plunging down over the rocks, the pure embracing mountain air, the beautiful scenery with first-class hotels and cottages makes this an ideal spot to spend the summer months. Leaving the falls we see Pikes peak to the north, as it seems to stand out in bold relief we can view it from different points as the train climbs the grade to the Divide, there a branch road leads to Che great min ing camp of Cripple Creek. From Divide down through Florissant Canon the mountain views are 'beautiful and very interesting. Then as we pass on through Granite Canon with it's great walls of stone and ragged cliffs, makes one shudder to think what would happeia should one of tlio.se large boulders come tumbling down on our train, but as they have stood sentinel there for ages there is >no fear of danger. Soon we enter South Park. Here at an altitude of about 16,©00 feet is the largest mountain parV in the state Here upon a time nearly all the large game such as buffalo, elk, deer and antelope as well as hundreds of Indians roamed where they woutid, where now in their piace are thousands of cattle horses, and many hay ranches. This park is surrounded with mountains from which there has beeu millions of dollars work of preeious metals taken. Near Hartsels they have just lately dis covered some very pomising leads that prominent Mining men are preparing to develop. Leaving Hartseis the scenery is grand and ever changing. The many mountain peaks are pointed by the railroad men until we reach the Arkan saw Valley. Our next step is Buenna Vista. This town ties on the Delta be low the station. The state reformatory can be readily seen in the distance, The Arkansaw River Hows through the fertile valley, to the left is the Collegiate range of mountains with Mt. Yale some 14,187 feet; Mt Princton, 14,190 feet, and Mt. Harvard, 14,374 feet with their lofty peaks exteningaway above the clouds. The ride from Bueuna Vista to Lead vllle is a beautiful ever changing panoramic view of mountain scenery with lumber camps, saw mills, lime kilns and smelters showing the many industries of the people. Leadville, once the most noted city in the world, is to-day a quiet city, situated among the mountain peaks at an altitude of some 10,103 feet, and is yet quietly pro ducing from her numerous mines much of the precious metals which help to supply the markets ofthe world. Over three hundred millions in gold and silver have been mined in Leadville to date. As we leave Leadville, Mt. Massive which is the highest mountain in the state looms up before us. It being 14,425 feet and is continually cover ed with snow the year around. Again climbing up mountains we reach Busk, where a tunnell more than two miles long; greets us, and pierces the Continental Divide. Passing through this tunnell we emerge on the Pacific slope. Here some of the grandest and most magnificent of mountain scenery greet us, the rugged chasm with cliffs 2000 feet to the gulch below, and the towering'peaks around us make an awe inspiring scene never to be forgotten. One can see the railroad tracks a half mile below us as our train winds over these tracks among the hills for four teen miles, then we reach Hellgate, and as we look back from Horseshoe Curve wo wonder at the magnitude of railroading in the Rockies. On down through the Frying Pan river valley; mines and mills are at work, trout fishing is fine in the stream and the region is known as the "Hunters Paradise". Red Rock Canon presents another wonderful scene unlike that on the other side of the Divide. There are great massive mountains of red sand rock that look like Castles built for the Ancients. Mt. Hopris stands like a sentinel close in this region at an altitude of about 14,300 feet ami is very im pressive in its grandeur. At Cardiff are the great coal mines and hund reds of coke ovens that supply coal and coke for the railroads of the Great West. At Glenwood Springs is one of the greatest resort hotels in the state. The great curative properties ofthe hot mineral springs bring!tourists from all over the continent. From Glenwood Springs our train follows the Grand River. The next place of in. terest being at Rifle where our President stopped last year to make his hunt for the mountain lion in the White River country to the North ward. Emerging from the mountaics we enter the great fruit section of Western Colorado. The Grand Valley fruit has gained wide spread re nown and and high national reputation. Peaches, peas, plums, apples and grapes art shipped by train load to the Eastern and western markets. A good nights rest as we go across the Utah Desert gives us a chance to appreciate the Great Salt Lake valley as we descend front Soldiers Summit in th morning and see how grand the Mormon pioneers have made the desert bloom as roses, and build a sity that compares with any of its sijte in the world auc.
