The charm of a trip along the Shasta Route of the Southern Pacific, often termed “The Road of a Thousand Wonders,” is recognized by the traveled world. It offers a succession of grandeur and scenic beauty unexcelled by any railroad trip in America.

EXPLANATION OF VIEWS ILLUSTRATED

MOUNT SHASTA FROM RESERVOIR LAKE (COVER)

This is one of the most famous views of this imperial mountain peak.

THE FERRY BUILDING

From the Ferry Building, at the foot of Market Street, the ferry boats of the Southern Pacific take the traveler across San Francisco Bay to Oakland Pier. The Ferry Building, erected in 1896 at a cost of $1,000,000, is the water gate of San Francisco, where rail and tide meet. There is scarcely a minute in the day when there is not a ferry either arriving at or departing from some one of the ferry slips.

VIEW OF SAN FRANCISCO, SHOWING THE HARBOR, OAKLAND, AND MOUNT DIABLO IN THE DISTANCE

San Francisco, the starting point of this journey, is the largest and best known of the cities on the Pacific Coast. This bird’s eye view of lower San Francisco, the Ferry Building and San Francisco Bay, shows the splendid body of water facing the city. This Bay is seventy miles long and from three to ten miles wide, and has an area of four hundred and fifty square miles. Vessels of all descriptions, and from all parts of the globe, populate San Francisco harbor, which is the pride and marvel of all navigators. Yerba Buena Island is seen on the left, the trans-bay cities of Oakland, Berkeley and Alameda, and ferryboat landings in the middle distance, while in the distance is seen Mount Diablo.

OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA

Oakland, the third largest city in California is but eighteen minutes from San Francisco via the Southern Pacific’s fine transbay steamers.

With its fine harbor facilities, Oakland is rapidly growing as a commercial center, carrying on an extensive coastwise and foreign trade. Its position on the east side of the bay, makes it a great railroad terminal for all lines from the north, south and east.

As a community of homes, Oakland has a well deserved fame, for its setting is picturesque and the climate nears perfection.

Oakland has many attractive parks and public playgrounds. Lake Merritt, near the Civic Center is a natural water-park, and state game reserve, where thousands of wild ducks make their winter home, an unusual sight, indeed. Boating may be enjoyed every day in the year.

Oakland’s City Hall, with its massive tower, is the tallest building in California, its height being 377 feet.

FERRY BOAT “CONTRA COSTA”

This ferry carries Southern Pacific trains and passengers between Port Costa and Benicia, crossing the Carquinez Straits. The distance is about a mile and requires about twenty minutes. The ferry was constructed as a sister ship to the ferry “Solano” and is the largest ferry in the world. It is 433 feet long, cost $450,000, and has a capacity of 36 cars and two engines.

LASSEN PEAK, LASSEN VOLCANIC NATIONAL PARK

Lassen Peak, California, is the latest scene of volcanic activity on the Pacific Coast, adding another point of interest along “The Road of a Thousand Wonders.” Lassen Peak with its elevation of 10,577 feet, can be seen from the car windows of the “Shasta Route” trains, and can be visited from Red Bluff or Redding by automobile.

SACRAMENTO RIVER AND MT. SHASTA FROM CASTELLA

This is one of the finest views in the canyon, with the mighty form of Mt. Shasta in the background. The great white cap extends 14,444 feet above the sea. The foothill counties tributary to this valley are rich in gold and other minerals, while the rich soil of the entire valley is adapted to raising of a most diverse variety of crops. The upper canyon of the Sacramento River constantly presents to the traveler an ever-changing scene of astounding splendor.

CASTLE CRAGS IN SACRAMENTO CANYON

Castle Crags, in the Sacramento Canyon, are great granite rocks, rising close beside the track, to a height of 4,000 feet. Their vertical strata splintered into a hundred parapets, makes this a scene never to be forgotten. Beyond the Crags is Castle Lake at an elevation of 7,245 feet, and from this point appears the rounded summit of Mt. Shasta, silver against the turquoise sky; a watch tower of the world, gazing ever toward the eternal.

MOSSBRAE FALLS AT SHASTA SPRINGS

Here one of the enormous streams which have their origin in the melting snows of Mt. Shasta, divides itself into a myriad of little waterways before reaching the top of a wooded semi-circular cliff, from which point it tumbles into the Sacramento River, a hundred feet below, forming Mossbrae Falls, as they appear like a thousand springs born under the rocky ground.

SHASTA SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA

Shasta Springs, near the base of Mount Shasta, is one of the best-known all-the-year-around resorts in the world. Here the train stops long enough for a drink of the famous sparkling Shasta water, real soda water. This resort is noted for its scenic beauty and its health-giving water.

CANTARA LOOP, 18TH CROSSING, SACRAMENTO RIVER, CALIFORNIA

The train spends five hours crossing and recrossing the Sacramento River. This loop was devised to get out of the canyon and up on the plateau where stands Mt. Shasta, with its snowy summit, as seen from the car windows; nothing could be a more glorious tribute to the marvelous skill of the modern railroad engineer, than the obstacles met with and overcome in building a railroad through this rugged country.

SISSON, AT THE BASE OF MOUNT SHASTA

At this point the traveler finds himself at the base of the mountain, and if he desires, can arrange a genuine Alpine mountain climbing trip. The town stands at the base of the mountain and a road runs to the edge of the timber line, which has made possible an ascent of the mountain in a single day. The wonderful view from the summit, 14,444 feet above the sea, is bounded only by the curvature of the world’s disc, and there is not a finer view to be had anywhere.

PANORAMA OF MT. SHASTA AND BLACK BUTTE

There are numerous volcanic cones scattered throughout this part of California. One of the best-known is Black Butte, also called Muirs Peak. Its cone is almost perpendicular to a height of almost 6,000 feet, close to the base of Mt. Shasta—black, bare and desolate, an extinct volcano, with half a dozen craters in plain view. Mt. Shasta is an extinct volcano, one of the highest peaks on the North American Continent. Its snows and glaciers feed hundreds of streams which thread the wild region in every direction. These wild regions are a paradise for the sportsman and lover of nature. Grizzly, black and cinnamon bear abound, elk, deer and mountain sheep are plenty, as well as a great variety of smaller game. The streams are alive with trout.

MOUNT SHASTA FROM EDGEWOOD

Here is one of the favorite view points of this great snow-capped mountain and where the majestic grandeur of the mountain is most apparent. Edgewood, as the name suggests, is literally the edge of the forest. From this point to the summit of the Siskiyous there is very little timber.

MT. McLOUGHLIN FROM UPPER KLAMATH LAKE

The Klamath Country has no superior as a pleasure realm for the sportsman and camper, and of unusual interest to tourists. Much of this region is still a wilderness, full of the charm of mountain and forest. Its marches are breeding grounds for wild fowl; its clear streams and broad lakes are full of lusty, hard-fighting trout, and in its forests roam deer, bear and cougars. Mount McLoughlin, the highest peak in southern Oregon, is 9,760 feet above sea level.

WIZARD ISLAND, CRATER LAKE NATIONAL PARK

Crater Lake lies in the heart of the Cascade Range, in southern Oregon, its surface 6,177 feet above sea level. As its name suggests, it is the crater of an extinct volcano. Crater Lake has been sounded to a depth of 1,996 feet and declared by scientists to be the deepest inland body of water in the world. Rising almost sheer from the water’s edge, the rim of the lava cliffs attain at places a height of 2,000 feet. From Crater Lake Lodge, on the rim of the lake, the opposite shore is six miles away. Wizard Island is a perfectly preserved cinder cone rising nearly 1,000 feet above the lake. You may climb the slaggy timbered cone of Wizard Island and descend one hundred feet into its crater which is five hundred feet across.

LOOP TUNNELS 14 AND 15 IN SISKIYOU MOUNTAINS

This picture represents one of the difficulties of railroads through this rugged mountain range and shows elevation is overcome by the use of tunnels. A tunnel is cut through the rocks; a circuit is made leading back to the same point at a higher elevation and another tunnel is cut directly over the first one. The traveler will find this a most interesting view as the train winds its way through these mountains.

GOLD RAY DAM, SHOWING TABLE MOUNTAIN AND ROGUE RIVER

Table Rock is familiar in Indian history as the place where Captain Jack of the Modoc Indians made his last stand; was captured and hung at Old Fort Klamath, ending the historical Modoc war. Snow-capped Mt. Pitt, rising to an altitude of 9,760 feet, is visible from this point.

HELL GATE, ROGUE RIVER

This picture shows the character of the upper stretches of this splendid trout stream. Anglers cross the continent for the joys of fishing this stream. The line of the Shasta Route from Medford to Crater Lake follows this canyon and affords many beautiful views.

COW CREEK CANYON

Despite its unromantic title, this canyon has few rivals in the attractiveness of its scenery. For a long way, the tracks run parallel to the stream, which races in rapid rivalry with the train. Its rugged walls on every hand form grotesque outlines, suggesting weird figures to the imagination of a nature-loving mind.

THE WILLIAMETTE RIVER, OREGON

The Southern Pacific “Shasta Route” follows for 150 miles, the beautiful Williamette River, and from the car windows, may be glimpsed views of its wooded banks, its gleaming reaches and winding course that will delight the beholder. The Williamette Valley through which it flows is the principal valley of Western Oregon.

MOUNT HOOD FROM LOST LAKE

This mountain is often spoken of as the “Pride of Oregon.” Its uppermost peak reaches an altitude of 11,225 feet and is plainly visible from many points on this part of “The Road of a Thousand Wonders.” While this grand mountain is easy to climb, the ascent is steep and the alpenstock and rope are used to aid one in his upward journey. On the top one finds a region of perpetual snow, but the view is indescribably grand. The trip to the summit is one of the most popular trips out of Portland.

PORTLAND, OREGON. MOUNT HOOD IN DISTANCE

Portland, often termed the “Rose City,” has many natural advantages and points of interest to the traveler. This popular name is derived from the city’s beautiful parks and homes, where roses are in abundance everywhere. A trip up the Columbia River from Portland will leave an impression on the traveler never to be forgotten. Mountain climbing and ocean bathing are popular sports that help to make Portland a favorite stopping point.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™

Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
