A NOT UNUSUAL SCENE—VICTORS OVER A WORTHY FOE

CASTLE CRAGS—VOLCANIC PALISADES ON THE SHASTA ROUTE

And then on, up the Sacramento valley, northerly, the road goes through Tehama, Red Bluff, and Redding—prosperous young cities, centers for rich mines, vast grain fields, orchards and sugar-pine forests; carrying the traveler through a region of marvelous scenic value—Castle Crags, Shasta Springs, with its crystal water bubbling up near the track, and peerless views of snow-capped Shasta. Here are opportunities for fishing and hunting and genuine alpine mountain climbing, for scaling the summit of Shasta is to western sportsmen more or less of a duty, much as that which lures the Alpine traveler to climb the Jungfrau. For this task of muscular devotion, travelers should stop off at Sisson, where there is a snug inn, open winter and summer, where mountain climbing parties can be supplied readily with a full equipment of things needful for the not difficult ascent.
