     The area of these sixteen Oivisions extending between Lati- 
   tudes 32 and 48 undergo marked climatic and geological changes. 
   The tree-line of Div. I is about 5,500 ft. and rises to 10,500 ft. 
; in Div. 12. The annual snowfall of the Cascades is about 30 ft., 
   on the Sierra Nevada, about 20 ft., and in the Sierra Madre only 
t 6 ft. This has a marked effect on the sculpture of the peaks 
   and on the vegetative covering of the slopes. Thus a peak in 
   the Cascades of 9,000 ft. has the same character as one In the 
   Sierra Nevada of 13,000 ft., and the Yellow Pine that flourishes 
   up to 4,000 ft. In Div. 1, is found only from 5,000 to 7,000 ft. 
   in Div. 15. 
     The National Forests and National Parks traversed by the 
   TRAILWAY in Div. 1-12, over 1,600 miles, is a continuous forest 
   primeval of nearly 20,000,000 acres (except the Columbia River 
   Valley and the crossing of the main motor highways), larger 
   than the States of New York and New Jersey; the finest and 
   largest coniferous forest in the World, both in the size of the 
   trees and in the number of species, (nineteen species). In the 
   Cascades the firs dominate the wilderness, clothing the slopes in 
   dense groves for over 700 miles; while the pine is the monarch 
   of the Sierra Nevada in more open and sunnier forests.
