"River of Destiny" float shows the Colorado River flowing from heather and pompom mountains at the back, through desert and a channel in more mountains to a land of flowers. Two little girls, June Muhleman and Jane Putney, play in the flowers. The float was entered by the Metropolitan Water District and is shown here at the intersection of Orange Grove Blvd. and Colorado Blvd.
The theme of the 1935 forty-sixth annual Rose Parade was "Golden Legends."
