THE SCENIC LINE OF THE WORLD.
Denver & Rio Grande R'y
THE MID-CONTINENTAL ROUTE
— TO —
Salt Lake and the Golden Gate.
THIS LINE PENETRATES THE MOST PICTURESQUE PARTS
OF COLORADO, NEW MEXICO AND UTAH, AND
IS THE FAVORITE ROUTE FOR BUS-
INESS OR PLEASURE.
IN COLORADO the traveler beholds scenery excelling in variety, beauty and grandeur that of Switzerland. He traverses canons fifteen miles in length, with perpendicular walls more than half a mile in height. He crosses the Rocky Range at an elevation of over 11,000 feet, and from this lofty pass gazes upward 3,000 feet to the summits of the snow-crowded peaks. En route to the Pacific Coast he passes through innumerable places of interest, among which are the Royal Gorge, Grand Canon of the Arkansas, Poncho Pass, Marshall Pass, the valleys of the Uncompahgre, Gunnison and Grand, Black Canon, Castle Gate, Wasatch Summit and Salt Lake City.
