Springs and the Jefferson National Forest to Great Falls, and thence to
Glacier National Park. It passes through a region of ranches, mining
camps, rugged canyons, and broad bench lands, and gives the traveler
unacquainted with the West a chance to see much which he has read about
but never seen.
Missoula, “The Garden City of Montana,” is located in a region rich in
scenery and historic interest. The famous Bitterroot Valley extends to
the south for a hundred miles. The road up this valley is one of the
best in the country. From the head of the valley the Forest Service has
constructed a road over the Continental Divide into the Big Hole Basin.
This road is a link in the Park to Park Highway, extending from Glacier
to Yellowstone National Park.
To the north of Missoula is the Flathead Indian Reservation, now the
home of the Selish tribe of Indians. Still further to the north is
Flathead Lake, a beautiful sheet of water thirty-five miles long and
twelve miles wide, upon which steamboat service is maintained during
the summer. Glacier Park lies still further to the north and is reached
over excellent roads.

Nevada has a sparse population, and in consequence road construction is
correspondingly limited. The state is best reached by the Pikes Peak
Ocean to Ocean Highway, along which are found Elko, Winnemucca,
Lovelock, and Reno.
Nine of the National Forests are included wholly or in part within the
State of Nevada. These National Forests, with their areas in acres,
follow: Dixie (282,543), Eldorado (400), Humboldt (1,301,073), Inyo
(72,817), Mono (464,315), Nevada (1,250,929), Tahoe (14,853), Toiyabe

New Hampshire includes a part of the White Mountain National Forest.
This National Forest was not acquired by the Government until 1918, and
in consequence the Forestry Department has not done much yet in the way
of road construction. The portion of the White Mountain Forest included
within the boundaries of New Hampshire has an area of 241,878 acres.
Through this forest there are a number of good roads which run to the
numerous summer resorts of this region and along which there are many
natural camping sites. The Supervisor of the White Mountain Forest may
be addressed at Gorham, N. H., for information regarding camping sites
and permits.

There are now six National Forests in New Mexico comprising an area of
approximately nine and one-half million acres.
The Forest Service is rapidly improving transportation and
communication facilities in the New Mexico Forests. Under the new law
about half a million dollars was spent on National Forest Roads in New
Mexico during 1922.
Persons who desire to camp in the National Forests of New Mexico may do
so without charge or other restrictions. They are required only to be
careful with fires and to leave clean camp grounds upon departure. In
some localities public camp grounds, with such facilities as
fireplaces, etc., have been set aside for the convenience of tourists.
A good road has recently been completed from Taos up Taos Canyon to the
top of the divide, where it joins the road to Cimarron. The Red River
Road, from Ute Park, west over the divide, and down Red River to
Questa, thence to Taos, has now been finished.
Good roads recently built by the Government and state into portions of
the Sacramento Range and into the White Mountains have opened up areas
for recreation. Among these is the beautiful Ruidoso Creek, now reached
over an excellent road from the Pecos Valley and through the
Mescalero-Apache Indian Reservation, and the area at the north end of
the Capitans recently chosen by Roswell for a municipal camp.

provided the former occupant has used it for a “reasonable” period. The
idea is to give no one an exclusive privilege, but to insure to all a
fair share of enjoyment.

The Metropolitan Park Commission of the State of Rhode Island and
Providence Plantations has set apart certain open spaces for public
recreation and enjoyment. One of these, the Lincoln Woods Reservation
(458 acres), is one of the best natural parks in New England and
consists of rocky woodland, streams, hills and valleys, open meadows
and lakes. Shelters and fireplaces have been located in several
sections of the reservation and campers must use the latter if a fire
is needed. Permits for the use of camping locations may be obtained by
applying at the office of the Commission in the State House. Lincoln
Woods is located five miles from Providence.

South Dakota maintains in the Custer State Park one of the most
picturesque recreation grounds in the country. It comprises 61,440
acres in the Black Hills section of the state, 30,000 acres of which
are designated by the National Government as a game preserve. Among
other interesting game there is a herd of seventy-five buffalo. A
wonderful system of highways is being constructed which will open up
this park to motor tourists.
The Wind Cave National Park is accessible to motor tourists and is
being visited by more than thirty thousand tourists annually, most of
whom are campers.
There are three of the National Forests in South Dakota, viz.: the
Black Hills (483,403 acres); the Harney (548,854 acres); the Sioux
(75,524 acres). These are being rapidly opened up to camping motor
tourists by the construction of improved highways and camping sites.

State Camp Sites
Camp sites prepared by the State Forestry Department are generally upon
lands leased by the Department, such lands being situated upon public
highways and usually adjoining running streams of pure water,
fireplaces and free wood being provided. There are twenty-one of these
sites, mostly in counties in the western portion of the state.
There are sixteen State Parks, upon some of which camping sites have
been established and others will be provided. At present ten camp sites
have been opened to the public in the State Parks.

National Forests
The State of Washington is rich in National Forests, having a total
number of ten. Almost all of them are now more or less accessible to
motorists. A list of these forests follows.
Chelan (677,429 acres). Good automobile roads give access to the lower
end of Lake Chelan, from the Sunset Highway and the Yellowstone Trail
by Blewett Pass and Wenatchee. There are many camping places along the
lake. Further information concerning camping sites may be obtained from
the Supervisor at Okanogan.
Columbia (784,498 acres). A road forty-seven miles long, passable for
automobiles, connects Castle Rock with Spirit Lake in this forest. The
Forest Service maintains a public camp ground on the south shore of the
lake where tourists and campers are always welcome. For other
information write the Supervisor of this forest at Portland, Oregon.
Colville (754,886 acres). Tourists may visit the remotest settlement in
the Colville National Forest by automobile and secure camping supplies
from towns on, or away from, the railroad. The Forest Supervisor can be
reached at Republic.
Olympic (1,534,689 acres). Olympic Hot Springs can be reached from
Elwha P. O. on the Olympic Highway. Splendid camping places can easily
be had near the springs along Boulder Creek. The address of the
Supervisor is Olympia.
Rainier (1,315,891 acres). McClellan Pass Highway, built by the Forest
Service and the State, is now completed as far as the Dalles of White
River. The National Park Highway from Tacoma to Mount Rainier follows
the Nisqually River in the Rainier National Forest for three miles.
Frequent camping sites may be found along these highways. The
Supervisor may be found at Tacoma.
Snoqualmie (698,043 acres). Along the principal routes of travel in
this forest the Forest Service has cleared up the most desirable
camping sites. The Supervisor is located at Seattle.
Washington (1,454,214 acres). This forest is rugged, and good
automobile roads are few. For camping sites information may be secured
from the Supervisor at Bellingham.
Wenaha (313,434 acres). One hundred and forty miles of road passable by
automobiles traverse this forest. Popular camping places accessible by
automobile are Tollgate and Godman Springs. For others inquire of the
Supervisor at Walla Walla.
Wenatchee (665,276 acres). The new road over Blewett Pass has a maximum
grade of five per cent and furnishes one of the most attractive and
beautiful drives in the Northwest. Lake Keechelus is skirted by the
Sunset Highway on its east side. Here are good hunting and fishing in
season and beautiful camping places. Leavenworth, Wash., is the
headquarters of the Supervisor.
The other forest, Okanogan (1,486,325 acres), is not accessible to
motorists.

Yellowstone National Park
The Yellowstone National Park, which lies largely within the State of
Wyoming, is probably the outstanding recreational feature of the state.
That it is being appreciated by the motor tourist camper is evident
from the fact that the visiting cars have come to number between
fifteen and twenty thousand a year—1923 record, 18,253 cars and 61,507
motorists.
The list of National Forests in Wyoming that follows, with areas in
acres and the addresses of the Supervisor of each, is for those who may
desire the information that these Supervisors will cheerfully give to

CHAPTER XIV
STATE RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR MOTOR TOURISTS
Motor Laws of the Different States as Affecting Motor Tourists from
Other States—States Listed Alphabetically—Also Trailer License Laws
of the Several States, Each State in Alphabetical Order—Suggested
Regulations for Camping Parks—Tabulation of Information Concerning
the Fishing and Game Laws of the Various States—States Given in
Alphabetical Order.
The laws of the different states vary considerably in the matter of
regulating motor vehicles, so it will be well for the tourist to
familiarize himself in advance with the automobile and traffic
regulations of the states through which he means to travel.
Unless a protracted stay is contemplated he will not find it necessary
to pay any additional tax, but his home state tags should be properly
displayed.
Usually any traffic officer will be able to supply the tourist with a
copy of the local rules and regulations governing traffic in state or
city. Ultimately traffic regulations will be standardized, but as yet
there is considerable variation in the matter.
By the observance of common courtesy and common sense the tourist will,
as a rule, avoid any trouble with local authorities. However, this
should not be taken to mean that the visitor is not to acquaint himself
so far as possible with the local rules and regulations.
It is assumed that the tourist will usually wish to travel in the
United States, with the exception of those who may desire to take a
trip into the domain of our northern neighbor, Canada. Consequently
that will be the only foreign country mentioned.

The Rules and Regulations of Motor Camping Parks will be found to vary
more or less with the locality. At many of these parks there are no
specific rules. Care-takers or police officers keep order, but often
that is all. However, there is coming to be a tendency to standardize
the management of these camping sites by the adoption of a few general
rules of procedure.
An example of the tendency to standardize the management of
motor-camping parks is seen in the recommendations of a committee
appointed at a recent convention of the Florida State Commercial
Secretaries’ Association. This committee, after correspondence with
commercial secretaries in towns and cities maintaining motor-camping
sites in various parts of the country, brought in a report recommending
that motor-camping parks in Florida be operated in conformity with the
following rules:
“Registration.—Upon arrival, the party is to give the license
number and make of car, the name of the applicant, his permanent
address and the names of all members of his party. This information
is to be given to the custodian of the camp, who will be appointed
by either the local commercial organization, civil authorities or
whoever is charged with the maintenance of the camp grounds. The
applicant, providing his stay in the state is to be of some
duration, should be advised of the requirements prescribed by the
state automobile law relative to securing a state license. If any
undesirables are found in the party the same, with their car number
and the names of the persons in the party, with a statement of the
cause of complaint, should immediately be transmitted to the
custodian in charge, who in turn will convey this information to
the proper local authorities, and should the complaint be serious
enough the information should be sent to other commercial
organizations or public authorities in other communities operating
auto camps.”
“Time Limit of Parties.—A maximum of two weeks for any one visit,
with the privilege of renewing under local control.”
The great majority of auto camps, as may be seen from the tabulated
list of camps, make no charge. There is coming to be a feeling,
however, that responsible people will not object to paying a small
daily or weekly charge. The Northwestern Association of Auto Camp
Managers recommend a daily charge of fifty cents per car. On the other
hand, many of the most elaborate and expensively conducted camps are
absolutely free, as, for example, the quarter million dollar auto camp
maintained by the city of Denver. Those communities maintaining free
auto camps do so for the following reasons: They maintain that the
benefits derived by a community maintaining public automobile camps are
threefold.
“First.—Automobile tourists stopping at these camps are individual
