Happy Touring!

This 1968 brochure never once mentions Union Pacific, but the tours it describes appear to be those in the UP Summer Tours booklet. They include tours to California, the Pacific Northwest/Canadian Rockies, Utah-Arizona, Yellowstone, Colorado, and Alaska.

“Folders are available giving complete information on each tour program with cost,” says the brochure. Interested people were invited to contact their travel agent or the Milwaukee Road’s passenger service manager in Chicago.

“Happy Touring” says this breakfast menu, suggesting it might have been used for people on a tour. Escorted tours included all meals, and since this menu is priced it wouldn’t have been used for one of those tours. But there were other kinds of tours as well.

The menu is undated, but it came with the above escorted tours brochure, which was dated 1968. The prices on this menu are about right for 1968, so that seems a likely guess for the menu as well.
