A SUMMER TRIP UNSUR
PASSED ON THE CONTINENT.
The trip to Salt Lake City or to the
Pacific coast via that point over the
Denver & Rio Grande system, “the
scenic line of the world,” is the most
beautiful in America. No European
trip of equal length can compare with
it in grandeur of scenery or wealth of
novel interest. Then Salt Lake City
itself is a most quaint and picturesque
place and well worth the journey. Its
Mormon temple, tabernacle, tithing
office and church institutions; its hot
sulphur springs within the city limits;
its delightful temperature, sunny cli
mate and its Great Salt Lake—deader
and denser than the Dead Sea in Pal
estine—are but a few features of Salt
Lake City’s countless attractions.
There are parks, drives, canons and
beautiful outlaying mountain and lake
resorts. Imagine, if you can, a bath
in salt water a mile above sea level
and in water in which the human body
cannot sink. Inquire of your nearest
ticket agent for low tourist rates to
Salt Lake City or write for informa
tion and copy of “Salt Lake City, the
City of the Saints” to S. K. Hooper,
general passenger agent, Denver,
Colorado.
