ing bags, and waterproof maps of the
main canoe routes. All this is inex
pensive, and it's high adventure, too.
Adirondack Forest Preserve, N. Y.
Most campers find it hard to believe that
this splendid bit of upside-down coun
try still remains so undeveloped so
close to all the Eastern centers of pop
ulation. Actually more than half the
citizens of America live within a day's
drive of this preserve, via turnpike
traveling. A number of camp sites are .
available except during August when
the demand is heavy.
Glacier National Park, Mont. Just
to drive across Going-to-the-Sun High
way through Glacier is a memorable
experience, but to camp in the park is
even more rewarding. Besides the mag
nificent scenery, there's good fishing, a
vast network of hiking and riding trails,
good pack-tripping deeper into the high
country, and abundant wildlife to study.
Other scenic areas are within easy driv
ing in Montana (Flathead Lake, Bob
Marshall Wilderness) as well as in Brit
ish Columbia and Alberta.
Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Mid
. westerners have long known about this
cool and scenic portion of Michigan
surrounded by the Great Lakes. But
with the new Straits of Mackinac
Bridge, it's available to anyone. The
state has numerous campgrounds, and '
camping rights can be obtained on
many private lands for a small fee. The
Peninsula has hundreds of lakes with
good fishing. The iron and copper ports
along the Superior shore line are inter
esting. And Isle Royale National Park
in Lake Superior must be reached from
here.
Lassen Volcanic National Park,
Calif. California's other parks (Yosem
ite, Sequoia, Kings Canyon) are far
better known, but Lassen is an "undis
covered" bonanza for serious campers.
It's an excellent outdoor laboratory to
study geology and the structure of the
earth. Extensive hiking trails lead to
fishing lakes and vast sweeps of high
country created by erupting volcanoes.
Other fine facilities exist in National
Forest lands just adjacent
Padre Island, Tex. Here's an un
broken strip of land similar to Hat
teras at the extreme southern tip of
Texas from Corpus Christ! to Port
Isabel. It offers unlimited camping but
only one established camp site, at the
southern end. Excellent fishing is avail
able in Brazos Santiago Pass and in the
Laguna Madre all year long. This is
also a top-notch shell-collecting area,
and there are many spots of interest
nearby in the Rio Grande Valley.
Custer Slate Park, S. Dak. In their
'haste to reach more celebrated regions
farther west, Eastern vacationers hurry
past the Black Hills, where much his
tory was made and where campers can

IN EVERY STATE AND PROVINCE, SERVICE STATION MEN WHO KNOW TIRE PERFORMANCE FIRST-HAND ADVISFYOU
WHEN THE CHOICE IS YOURS. ..CHOOSE
Step up to better tire performance... to
the better tire quality your car now needs.
When your car was new, it was easy on tires. Wheels
were perfectly aligned; springs, steering, shock
absorbers, and brakes all worked their best. Now
after thousands of miles of driving, you need tires
of a different, better quality.
Atlas Tires are tested 87 ways, in the laboratory and
on the road. They're specially built to meet your
car's present needs.
Nobody knows tire performance, brand
by brand, like your service station man.
And more of these Service Station Dealers recom
mend and sell Atlas Tires than any other brand.
38,000 of them, in all 50 states and Canada, advise
you: "When the choice is yours, choose Atlas."

have the time of their lives. It's great
country for hiking and riding. There's
good fishing in a number of lakes, and
buffaloes still roam at large here. Also
in the vicinity are the famous Mount
Rushmore stone carvings and the color
ful gold towns of Lead and Deadwood.
Any list of good camping areas must
include Yellowstone National Park, a
matchless area of natural beauty abound
ing with wildlife, but extremely crowd
ed through the summer; Grand Teton
National Park, exquisite mountain
country, but often quite crowded; Uin
ta Mountains, Utah, with more than
1,000 lakes; strange Crater Lake, Ore.,
and surrounding National Forest lands;
Olympic National Park, Wash., and sur
rounding forest lands; Lake Mead Na
tional Recreational Area, Nev., a top
boating and fishing area, too; Zion and
Bryce Canyon National Parks, Dino
saur National Monument, Utah.
Some of the East's best camping areas
include Shenandoah National Park, Va.,
and the Blue Ridge Parkway, where
campgrounds are available but fre
quently congested during midsummer;
White Lake Campground, N. H.; Baxter
State Park, Me., in a beautiful wilder
ness; West Virginia's state parks (Holly
River, Watoga, Douthat); Everglades
National Park, Fla.; Great Smoky
Mountains National Park, best in early
summer and fall, extremely crowded
in July and August.
