The way to reach the Russian River and its scenic surroundings is by theSan Francisco and North Pacific Railway, the Picturesque Route of California.
Continuous riding over this road does not become monotonous, owing to the variety and constant change of scenery, traversing, as it does, Marin, Sonoma, Russian River, Sanel and Ukiah Valleys.
The hand of man, in dotting the country with orchards, vineyards, grain fields, homes, towns and villages, has most beautifully blended the domestic with nature’s wildness.
From San Francisco to Ukiah, the terminus of the road, is only 113 miles.
The Counties tributary, Marin, Sonoma, Mendocino and Lake, are known as the most fertile on the Pacific Coast. The winds from the Pacific Ocean, tempered by the bordering coast range and redwood forests, produce a mild and salubrious climate so enjoyable to the healthy and refreshing to the weak.
The Hotels and Resorts, and the numerous and various mineral springs, afford every opportunity for health and recreation.
This section is specially desirable to the home-seeker, owing to the variety and profusion of products which can be raised, and without irrigation; for in this section, renowned for its richness and fertility and wonderful soil products,there is not one acre under irrigation.
