Show A SCENIC ROUTE. The Drive From Brigham to Call's Fort Full of Interest. One of the most interesting drives out of Brigham is that to Call's Fort, a distance of about seven miles. It is only surpassed by our romantic canyon highway. The road to Willard is smoother, but f )V grand and impressive scenery, the Call's Fort drive is ahead. This route is more winding and undulating, new and attractive scenes every now and then suddenly sud-denly breaking upon the view, when the summit of some of the highest hills is reached. The placid bosom of Box Elder lake stretches oxit to the west, the intervening inter-vening strip of land being a pretty checker-board of grain fields, green meadows, inhabited pastures and waving orchards, with many a cozy farm house standing on the foothills foot-hills above, or nestling down among the trees, forming comfortable nests, offering cheering shelter to the hardy sons of toil. Then the ! mighty mountains, starting at your , very feet and towering 8,000 to ; 9,000 feet into the heavens, seem j twice there actual height and ! twice their real size because of I their awful nearness. These jagged peaks seem like so many huge giants raising their bulky forms to such dizzy, precipitous heights that they break throught and divide tho blue canopy of heaven, and laugh with august scorn at d w a r fed man, as he toils slowly along over their rugged rug-ged feet, awed by the sight of their grand, inspiring presence. Truly, this is a scenic route, replete with the grand and beautiful in nature. |
