has been designated as "The Wonder '
stretch of highway completes the ASH
route through the State of North
Carolinn from border to border.
At this time it is practicable to
drive to Asheville and Atlanta from
Montreal or Quebec over an 85 per
cent dustless highway. In a recent
public speech, Hon. John N. Holder,
Highway Commissioner of Georgia,
stated that by 1927 a paved highway
would be completed from Atlanta to
the Florida line. A portion of this
is already paved and is now ready for
motorists.
IThe ASH is a trail of sconic grand- |
our, paralleling stately rivers and
(emerald lakes, through the quiet,
pastoral lowlands and the "Land of
the Slcy", where mountain peaks
recede into distances the eye cannot
fathoon. It is a raarvleous trail of
superb senary and appalling grandeur.
It traverses the land of the
eager lover of nature.
In the Great Smoky area of Western
North Carolina, we And a far
flung range 8000 square miles in extent,
favored by the purest aid and
a most healthful climate, and also by
the beauty of the loftiest mountains
in Eastern America. There are 82
peaks which exceed 5000 feet, including
Mt. Mitchell?6711 feet?the
highest mountain in Eastern America.
| Those who have motored over the
whole or any part of the ASH will
agree that it encompasses some of
the most inviting and alluring scenic
attractions to be found on the West- j

ions are found more abundantly than
on any other transcontinental highway
2400 miles in length. These attractions
start the moment you get
on any portion of the ASH, and for
its entire distance there is a labyrinth
of startling water falls, precipitous
mountain tops and wonderful formations
of Nature, such as the caves of
the Shenandoah Valley and the rock
formations of Western North Carolina.
It would take a magic pen to halfway
describe the kaleidoscopical wonders
and delights to be fciumd in
every ten mile stretch. The Appalachian
Scenic Highway passes Lake
Champlain, Lake Dunmore, skirts the
Berkshire Hills and Lake George by
Saratoga Springs, Wilkes-Barre, Gettysburg,
and through the internationnllv
famnu*
the Great Smokies; thence through
the magnificant Nantehalla Gorge,
over the beautiful mountains of North
Georgia, by Neal Gap, Stone Mountain,
through the fruit and cotton regions'
of Georgia, and into the Gulf
Coast section of Florida and Louisiana.
|
There is scarcely a mile of the |
route but that is rich in history, in
romance and in scenery which can !
hardly be duplicated. Enroute we
pass many world famed attractions,
and at one point the road is paved
with marble for several miles. At
another it passes over a roadbed rich
in gold. The pre posed Shenandoah
and Great Smoky National Parks and
ton established National Forests and
Same Preserves border this highway
The tourist traveling purely foi
pleasure could easily spend an entir<
summer on the Appalachian Sceni<
Highway and then not exhaust th<
outstanding points of interest.
It is said that the ASH offers inort
miles of hard-surfaced road than anj
ithe** route to Florida from Nev
England, New York, Pennsylvanii
and Ohio. It certainly ofTers great
historical and scenic interest, travers
