CONDITION DESCRIPTION: Cover is lightly rubbed and worn, creases to cover near spine, else VG+. Interior has rubber stamp on first page and on one other page; It being the Bonner County Historical Society, Sandpoint, Idaho. Else the interior is clean and tight. CONTENTS DESCRIPTION: Magnificent photographs of Colorado and Salt Lake City. I looked with amazement at the image of the Ouray-Silverton Road, it being a narrow track up the side of the mountains and over the pass. Today, they call it the "Million Dollar Road". I had occasion to drive this road recently; extreme care was required. First, it is beautiful, but narrow, twisty, and with few guard rails and with long, treacherous drops. Not too dissimilar to the image presented in this fine promotional pamphlet. By the time we got to Silverton, we were in great need of a rest break. N° de ref. del artículo 580983
