IWh.re the motor can never to.
And of heights too sublime for their ears to climb
Far above all the aounda below.
By A lUker
Around Fortland there are scorea
et good places to hike, half day
Walks and close-in walks which take
one seemingly far from the heart of
the city. We chose the hillside road
Sunday, the winding, grass grown
road, full of mud and washouts that
follows the contours of the hills to
Llnnton, about midway between the
two automobile roads, the -Skyline
boulevard at the top of the hill and
the Ltnnton road at the river's edge.
The road is reached from the end of
the Depot-Morrison car line. Tea, it is
muddy ; but what is a little thing like
mud to a hlkerT Shoes should be well
lied and woolen socks are lndlspenalble.
There are ruts and gullies, landslides and
washouts. There are places where one
must climb the bank at one side or wade
to his shoetops In mud ; there are long
Stretches of slush and water where the
drainage is obstructed.
DATS OF REAL SPORT
But only more Interesting does the in
secure foothold make the route. It is a
sensation that must be' akin to walking
On eggs, the stepping gently upon a sur
face of wet sediment, wondering if it will
hold or not. Sometimes it does, and
again one flounders about In a foot ot so
if mud. Hut tha mud all comes off in
I the next marshy atrip of the road.
rjrLater on, the road will be dry and
more delightful for those who want
olid places to walk.
In and out the old road winds, now
lust above the river and now back in the
hills crossing the head of a narrow
canyon cut by a wild stream that is
rushing down the hillside. Bristling with
fir trees are the canyons and hillsides,
while the luxuriant plant life, native o
Oregon, abounds everywhere and adds to
the wild effect of the road.
Just across the river Is the city always
In view, but a glance In the opposite di
rection takes In a wilderness. One never
meets an automobile on the Hillside ;
b-oad : one never passes a house, except
lone little deserted cabin that Is at times
taccupled by wood cutters ; one meets
Ibut comparatively few persons on foot,
especially at this time of year. On a
lear day the road commands a view or
he entire Cascade range, with Mount St
Helens standing out especially clear.
Above Whitwood Court there Is a trail
winding down to the town and to the
terry, where one may cross the river and
ake the St Johns car.
The length of the trip seems to vary
with whoever takes It. ranging- from five
to 15. Our pedometer registers about
sight miles.
