THE PATRIOTIC HYMN "America" is almost our second
national anthem. With countless others I share the love
it expresses for "thy woods and templed hills"; the high-
lands draw me back again and again. I have seen the first
light of morning touch the top of Maine s Mount Katahdin,
and watched the sun slip into the Pacific as I stood on Mount
Tamalpais just north of the Golden Gate. Most spectacular of
all was the midnight sun grazing the northern horizon,
viewed from the hard-gained heights of Mount McKinley.
The wooded slopes of our eastern "templed hills"
change with every season. Which is more dramatic, the exu-
berant late-spring bloom of the Smokies or the rich tapestry
of autumn on the New England hills? Throughout the year
the roads and trails of these venerable, peaceful ranges of the
East attract the crowd-weary residents of nearby cities.
