There is a time and season for everything. Katharine Lee Bates learned that when she made a trip with other Wellesley College professors on a vacation out west in 1893. They visited the World's Fair in Chicago and then traveled to summer school in Colorado. At the close of summer school the vacationers decided to visit Pike's Peak. In her own words, Katharine described her feelings: "We hired a prairie wagon. Near the top we had to leave the wagon and go the rest of the way on mules. I was very tired but when we saw the view, I felt great joy.
