Ute Pass [Ute Pass, Maniton], 1885
Scope and Contents
153 x 254 mm. Another fine photograph looking down on the road which threads its way through the pass, with a river and waterfalls to the left of the road. In the distance men can be seen standing beside the road near a pony trap. They appear to be looking at part of the road’s fencing which has collapsed, either through landslide or subsidence. The Ute Pass, which lies just north of Pike’s Peak and rises to a height of 7600 feet used to be one of the main routes used by miners on their way to the goldfields of Cripple Creek and Leadville.
