RIBBONING its way down soft-green aisles of forest giants, the Eglington Valley road promises to be one of the most popular tourist tracks in the Dominion: if grandeur of scenery is any criterion, then there is no doubt about it. The road winds through every variety of scenery, skirting lonelylakes and mountain peaks, and threading through a maze of trees that stand like pillars in some vast temple. To climb this mass of ice and rock depicted below is the dream of every. mountaineer—something that is talked about in his "bivvy"—but only twice has it been climbed. The' name of the mountain is Tutoko, viewed from the Cleddau Valley, which will be opened up when the Homer Saddle tunnel is pierced.
