About this book
The Beauties of the State of Washington is a book for tourists by Harry F. Giles, Deputy Commissioner. The table of contents lists sections titled, among others, The Evergreen State, Our Mountains, Washington Forests, The Climate and Puget Sound. The text says the mountains, glaciers and waterfalls of the state of Washington are not excelled by the most boasted scenes of Switzerland. Nearly 50,000 miles of scenic highway, passable for twelve months in succession, are said to be ready for automobiles. The charms listed include roaring ocean surf, cozy camping sites, beach parties and clam bakes, roses at Christmas and golf the year round on turf that's always green.
Motorists can go from Goldendale into the Yakima valley or return to the Columbia via Maryhill, where Hon. Samuel Hill has built a $100,000 road across his 6,000-acre farm. A list of places names Olympia, Grays Harbor, Shelton, Hood Canal, Lake Cushman and the Olympic Mountains with the note excellent roads.
