SMILING VALLEYS- Utah is likewise
RUGGED LANDSCAPE
and pastoral scene of cultivated fields.
The agricultural treasure of the State is a
chain of fertile valleys running north and
south. Excellent highways traverse their
full length, providing motor trips that are
an endless panorama of orchards, farms,
ranches, range lands, plains, canyons,
streams. Thriving cities and towns dot
motorways, sometimes coming in view
at brief intervals, sometimes far apart.
Timpanogos, 30 miles south of Salt Lake
City, is literally a "magic mountain."
Vast, rugged, wooded, flower-strewn and
snow-capped ... it towers to a height
of 11,957 feet. At its summit is one of
the few glaciers on the North American
Continent. Timpanogos Cave is a
maze of fantastic geologic formations,
tinted with a hundred shades of delicate
pastels. The loop trip around the mountain
is one of the world's supreme thrills!
Provo City and Utah Lake are two other
points of interest that can be conveniently
visited on this memorable scenic tour.
