Cottonwood Pass 1960, Red Bull Party Line, Telluride Skijoring
In this newsletter: Coloradotopia archive updates and upcoming weekend events.
This image comes from a 1960 Kodachrome slide that was scanned into the archives this week. A woman is seen signing the travelers’ registration book while a pair poses next to the Continental Divide sign on Cottonwood Pass.
Photographs of this sign from the 1900s are rare compared to other passes in Colorado like Berthoud Pass and Loveland Pass. The only images that have been acquired for the collection so far are the three slides seen below from 1960, 1983, and 1985.
