Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sixth Annual Tour Across the Continent and Through the Pacific Northwest, Season of 1889: With Visits to Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, California, the Mt. Shasta Region, Oregon, Washington Territory, the Picturesque Columbia River, Puget Sound, British Columbia, Idaho, Montana, Dakota, Minnesota and the Yellowstone National Park The journey from Boston to San Francisco will be described very briefly, inasmuch as a more detailed description may be found in the pamphlet circular relating to our annual California excursion, to which we would refer persons desiring fuller particulars than are here given. The route westward as far as Pueblo is precisely the same, and, in fact, the two parties will travel together to that point. In addition to the Colorado resorts visited by the California party in its outward trip, the Pacific Northwest excur sionists will include Manitou Springs (with a ride through the Garden of the Gods) and the picturesque Royal Gorge. After the side trips to the Veta Pass and the Toltec Gorge, the westward journey to and through California will be carried out upon essentially the same programme, the same places being visited, but on different dates. The same route is followed as far as Sacramento, which is the point of departure for Oregon. Leaving Boston by the Fitchburg and Hoosac T unnel line at A. M. Thursday, May 2, the party will proceed westward over that line to Rotterdam Junction, N. Y., and thence via the West Shore Railroad to Buffalo and Suspension Bridge. F rom the latter point the train continues over the Great Western Division of the Grand Trunk Railway to Port Huron, Mich., the Chicago Grand Trunk Railway from Port Huron to Blue Island Junction, Ill., and the Chicago, Rock Island Pacific Railway from the latter place to Kansas City. The train will reach Kansas City Saturday afternoon, and we shall remain there over Sunday, making our headquarters at the Coates House and the new Midland Hotel until our departure westward Monday morning.
