Title
Snow Banks on Continental Divide, Altitude 11,600 Feet, Denver & Salt Lake Railroad, Colorado, "Moffat Road"
Description
"Snow Cuts. This wonderful scene is a remarkable photograph taken June 15th on the Moffat Road above the line of perpetual snow. The road is built over the crest of the Great Divide, just west of Denver, and tourists go eagerly to the top of the range to see the wonderful climactic paradox of snow in the summer."
"Dear Mother,
Will drop you another card to let you know how we are. We are just fine and having a good time. Hope you all are well. We will soon leave from out here to go to [illegible]. Tell everybody hello for me. With love, from [illegible]."
