Los Angeles, Thursday Feb 10 Took the 9 A.M. electric car to go to the Mount Lowe Tram. The cars go through Pasa- dena, and Altadena and stop at Rubio Canyon where the altitude is about 14465 feet. Then up an inclined plane 1235 higher when one takes another electric car that winds and winds around the mountain side up to the Mt Lowe Tramway that stands at 4470 feet. It took about 2 1/2 hours to get here. Then walked N.E. 1/2 mile to Inspiration Point and back to the hotel after had lunch. Then tried to ascend by walking to the top of Mt Lowe along a bridal path. I took 1 1/2 hours to climb up to 5650', but the general view was not good on account of the haze and clouds. Could hardly see Pasa- dena about 10 miles south. Still the trip was worth while. All of the rocks are a white divise very light that in places almost seems a split granite. Has many schist including and then great bedded murus of schist throughly cooked in the diviste. Our place the building of the Observatory
