The Highway to New Enchantment

Along The Highways and Byways

The lights of Morenci, twinkling gaily on the hillside as you drive up the mountain from Clifton. and the early sun streaming over the hill into the canyon and between the rock cliffs that borders Clifton and the tall sycamores along the river glistening in the sunlight . . . The feel of the splendid highway that carries you from Kingman to Boulder Dam, one of the finest in Arizona, and the scenic magic of Mohave county and the mountains and the desert . . .

The refreshing "lift" in the air as you approach the farm lands near Mesa after the drive over the desert . . . and the quiet and restful drive north on Central Avenue after the maddening hurry and bustle of Phoenix . . . and the strange beauty and peace of the orange groves and the mountains just beyond . . . The sun setting in the west silhouetting the International Smelter on the hill as you approach Miami from Globe. and later, when darkness has settled, you make the same drive and the lights of the smelter and the Miami copper company on the hillside are like some big, strange city . . .

The pine trees of Yavapai county and their refreshing fragrance to the traveler after leaving Yarnell Hill and all the trees in spacious courthouse square in Prescott changing into summer gowns after the winter and the citizens of Prescott getting ready for another summer . . . The exquisite beauty of the palo verde tree on the desert in early May dress of bright yellow, so gay and fresh and beautiful . . .

The unforgettable portrait of Easter services at the Grand Canyon the lovely music of the choir and the hushed stillness of the 3,000 people who waited for the sun to rise above the Rim and as the sunbeams broke into the Canyon the strange fantasy of light and color being played as dark shadows fled ever deeper in the abysmal depths before the arrival of a new day and a new Easter . . . a portrait no person should miss. . .

The view of Salt River valley in the early evening from South Mountain . . . and the patterns of lights appearing in the valley below as twilight fades into night . . .

The mountains of Mexico as seen from the highway between Bisbee and Douglas when you always wonder what is happening there below Main street in Mesa on a Saturday night with farmer folk in for Saturday night shopping and the crowds in the streets portrait of a busy little city . . .

SUMMER FESTIVALS IN FLAGSTAFF AND PRESCOTT

Prescott and Flagstaff are getting ready for some big times this summer. Prescott is staging the Smoki dances in June and the Frontier Days celebration in July. The citizens of Flagstaff are getting ready to play host to thousands of visitors at the Southwestern Indian Pow-Wow during the Fourth of July holidays.

The highways of Arizona invite you to travel to these northern Arizona cities, for the enjoyment of cool mountain breezes and exceptionally novel entertainment.

ROADS THAT NEED FIXING

Two sections of the highways of Arizona that need fixing are now in process of being improved.

Contractors have been working on a portion of the Miami-Superior highway, and on the Morristown-Wickenburg highway along the Hassayampa river. Two very important improvement projects.
