The climate of the Pacific slope from British Colum

is mild and pleasant all winter, varying in degree
of mildness as one journeys North or South.
Rose and ceranium weather, for which warm ocean currents are re
sponsible, makes it possible for the visitor whether in Seattle, Tacoma,
Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles or San Diego whether motor
ing along the Columbia Highway or El Camino Real to view the
scenic wonders of the Far West in cdmfort, and to engage in all out-of-door
sports, as in springtime. '
And the scenery of the entire trans-Sierra region is so varied with iu
cloud-crowned peaks, its mountain-born streams, its waterfalls, its
flower-carpeted valleys and ocean beaches that no part of it should
be missed.
En route visit the National Parks, National Monuments, and other winter
resorts. .See Hawaii, too.
