Sunset Rock, a ledge above Kaaterskill Cove in the Catskill Mountains, drew visitors for its view over the forested valleys at evening. In this print from about 1905, a group of men sits on the bare stone, looking out over the ridges as the light fades. By the turn of the twentieth century, the Catskills had become a popular summer destination, with hotels and boarding houses bringing city visitors by rail and stagecoach to hike to lookouts like this one. The photographer is credited as A. Loeffler, but the date and attribution come from an older caption card and have not been independently verified.
