Across the Western Gardenof Allah

Great historical and geological interest attaches t o theterritory traversed by the Western Pacific in Northern Nevadaand Western Utah because the route traces the bed of twolakes which existed in times far remote from the coming ofman now known as Lake Lahontan and Lake Bonneville.

Lake Lahontan, once 880 feet deep, covered a great ex-panse of western Nevada and washed the eastern slope of theSierras. Former beaches and shore lines o f this prehistoriclake are to be seen high above the railroad track. Sand Passis at the southern end of one of the Lahontan deserts—SmokeCreek desert. Pyramid Lake, lying to the south, is a remnant

Between Silver Zone Pass (Toano Range) and the Wa-satch Mountains lay Lake Bonneville, which at one t ime hada maximum area of 19,750 square miles and a depth of 1,050feet.

This lake had an outlet to the Pacific Ocean via the Snakeand the Columbia rivers. I t s powerful waves fashioned i tsshores into an elaborate system of cl i ffs and benches whichare still clearly outlined.

Great Salt Lake, the southern arm of which is crossed bythe Western Pacific, is a remnant of Lake Bonneville. GreatSalt Lake is one of the natural wonders of the western hem-isphere and has been called the "Dead Sea of America." I t saverage salinity is about 51/2 times that of the ocean and i thas been estimated that i t contains 400 million tons of salt.Consequently, i t is extremely buoyant.

These vast expanses of the Great Basin have been termedthe "Western Garden o f Al lah." I t s beauties are i n sharpcontrast t o those o f the Sierras, nevertheless they recordintensely interesting stories of countless ages of the past.
