height <strong>of</strong> forested mountains, <strong>the</strong> shimmering expanse <strong>of</strong> a "dead<br />
sea," weird formations and broken horizons, <strong>the</strong> dramatic change<br />
<strong>of</strong> seasons . . . <strong>the</strong>se will remain forever a heritage <strong>of</strong> America!<br />
