EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the breathtaking view of Pikes Peak from the winding road leading to its summit, as seen from the Royal Gorge area in Canyon City, Colorado. The image dates back to the 1910s and was taken during a journey on the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad (D&RG). The railway, a significant means of transportation during that era, offered travelers a unique perspective of the natural beauty of the American front range. The majestic Pikes Peak, a 14,114-foot high mountain, stands proudly against the backdrop of the Rocky Mountains. Its snow-capped peak is a popular tourist attraction and has long been a symbol of the American West. The Royal Gorge, a deep canyon carved by the Arkansas River, adds to the grandeur of the scene, with its towering cliffs and narrow passageways. The D&RG Railroad played a crucial role in connecting various towns and cities in Colorado during the early 1900s. This photograph not only showcases the engineering marvel of the railway but also highlights the raw, untouched beauty of the American landscape. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to experience the awe-inspiring vistas that travelers once marveled at during their journeys across the United States.
