The image captures a scene of bustling activity as carriages traverse along the Pikes Peak Highway, a remarkable 31-kilometer toll road that stretches from Cascade to the summit of Pikes Peak. The photograph reveals some notable structures built by the Colorado Midland Railway in 1888. A railroad depot stands proudly alongside a charming dining hall and water tank, serving as essential amenities for travelers making their way up this picturesque route. The horse-drawn carriages add an old-world charm to the landscape, with majestic horses leading them forward. Professor George R. Cromwell curated this scenic marvel in his book "Scenic Marvels of the New World" highlighting its significance and beauty.
