Comments:
The main portion of this story is a vision of the future which Clark sees in a crystal ball. The events depicted, including Lois discovering his secret identity, are imaginary.

This story was retitled for this reprint.

Synopsis:
Clark visits a fortune teller and peers into her crystal ball. He sees himself in the future on vacation with Lois Lane in Crazy Canyon. King Conn, a paroled criminal, is scaring away people from the nearby resort by creating deadly accidents. Superman goes into action to save people from an avalanche. Lois watches him change into the Man of Steel from his Clark Kent identity.

Superman apprehends King Conn and exposes the reason behind the accidents. Conn believes he has discovered gold in the canyon, but it is only fool's gold. Clark and Lois then return to Metropolis with the story. Lois also now shares Superman's secret identity.

As the vision in the crystal ball fades, Lois asks Clark what he saw. He only tells her that they will take a vacation together at the canyon. Lois doesn't believe his vision will ever come true.
