National Parks Come Alive for Summer Vacation
By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN. The summer wanderlust rises as 1925 flivvers head to national parks and scenic routes. About 10 million Americans may travel by car this season with 8,000 auto camps and 15,000 hotels along highways. Rocky Mountain National Park offers lofty peaks and few roads, while Dr. Charles D. Walcott promotes North American parks as continental treasures. The Palisades Interstate Park near New York sparks urban escape, with 7,000,000 visitors in 1924 and a new Hudson crossing bridge easing travel. Citizens urged safe conduct and nature respect to prevent fires and protect the scenery.
