Let us hope the steel rails will never venture faither to rob us of the de- lights of the burro ride to the apex, only I 100 feet above us, but which winds by the devious path that skirls the highest peaks, where every turn breaks on our vision wide reaching panoramas that in- spire and thrill us. From the summit, bald but tor a few hardy shrubs and a single pin- ion pine that somehow found lodgment there, one looks off over thousands of square miles of serrated mountain tops, pop- ulous orange and vine clad valleys, and the blue, mysteri- ous island-dotted sea.
