Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Colorado: Its Hotels and Resorts
For the masterpieces of creation you must come to Colorado. Boundless plains, endless mazes of mountain ranges, canons, whose walls are piled upon walls, for thousands upon thousands of feet in height; hundreds of lakes and singing streams - these are features of the wonderland of the world.
Colorado is recreation - literally re-creation. Vacations here make new men and new women. You can be positive that stormy weather will not waste any of the precious days that you have set aside, to put yourself in shape, for business, or the Winter season's round of social obligations, again. You can be equally sure that, at the Summer resorts or watering places of the State, Or in the wilds of thegiant Rockies, whatever may be your tastes or physical condition, you will find the pursuit of pleasure or health a chase that brings results.
When he who, at the present writing, is the president of the United States, permits himself a few minutes' revery, in the midst of a day of hard work, do you suppose that his mind drifts back to San Juan hill, or Albany, or Harvard? No. The chances are that he thinks of that Winter, in Western Colorado, when he was only vice president elect; of the time, when accounts of his adventures with mountain lions and wolves, fifty miles from a telegraph station, were picturesquely amplified by the imaginations of Denver correspondents and wired to Eastern newspapers.
