1950s Rabbit Ears Pass Film, Weekend Mountain Events & More

In this week's newsletter: Digitized film, more collection updates, mountain events for the weekend, and subscriber deals as usual.

This film is just under 1.5 minutes long, and it includes footage from Berthoud Pass, Rabbit Ears Pass, and other areas. The thumbnail shows a 1955 Chevy wagon parked in front of the Continental Divide sign on Rabbit Ears Pass.

Why was this added to the archives? Like the others, this film was purchased while hunting for footage of the old Continental Divide Signs of Colorado.

See The Coloradotopia Motion Film Collection
