Row to Reacb €loudland 
 
 Go via Southern Railway to Johnson City, 
 Tenn.; there take the East Tennessee & Wes- 
 tern ISTorth Carolina narrow gauge railroad — 
 through the wildest gorge of the AUeghanies, 
 four miles long and more than one thousand 
 feet deep, through which the beautiful Doe 
 River flashes and tumbles — twenty-six miles 
 to Roan Mountain Station, where there is a 
 ' nice, comfortable hotel on the banks of the 
 beautiful Doe River ; thence in nice, light sur- 
 reys an entrancing and exhilarating ride of 
 ^ twelve and a half miles up Roan Mountain to 
 Cloudland Hotel, squarely on top of the Moun- 
 ^ tain, where you have 50,000 scj[uare miles of 
 territory in sight below within a radius of 150 
 miles over mountains and valleys in seven dif- 
 ferent States, the veritable " Switzerland of 
 America." No pen can picture the grandeur 
 ^ of the mountain view, and a sunset viewed 
 ^ from Cloudland after a storm in the valley is 
 0^ worth alone a thousand miles travel to see. 
 j,,^ There are 110 mountain tops in sight below 
 -j^ that are more than 4000 feet high. 
 ^ Too great for description, too lovely to paint, 
 1^ it can only be realized by actual presence. Un- 
 
like other resorts, one does not have to go otf 
 the porches of the hotel to see all of this; and 
 at night the lights of the hotel cast many a 
 weird shadow on the floating, shifting clouds. 
 
 Clondland is one of the few places in the 
 world where one's shadow can be seen in the 
 clouds, and while the air is full of electricity, 
 with its health - giving influence, the lightning 
 was never known to strike on top of the moun- 
 tain. There are no snakes, no mosquitoes, and 
 none of " the little pests that crawl in the night 
 and fly in the noonday." Here is to be found 
 the largest group of rhododendrons in the 
 United States! Azaleas, heather, houstonias, 
 and thousands of other rare plants and flowers. 
 
 It is the paradise of hay fever victims, as 
 that dread disease disappears with the breath- 
 ing of the mountain air and drinking of the 
 icy cold water so lavishly aftbrded by the moun- 
 tain springs. The thermometer ranges from 
 58 to 72 degrees during the season. 
 
 Here you are 6394 feet above the level of the 
 sea, nearly a mile above Lookout Mountain, 
 Tenn., or Hot Springs, 'N. C; 1200 feet above 
 Denver, Col.; 4500 feet higher than Asheville, 
 C; 200 feet higher than Mount Washing- 
 ton ; three-quarters of a mile higher than the 
 famous Catskill Mountain House, New York ; 
 5400 feet above Knoxville, Tenn.; 5700 feet 
 above Chattanooga, Tenn.; 5144 feet above 
 Tate Springs, Tenn.
