Set against a wide green valley meadow, the snow-capped peaks here stand as the kind of view that drew many nineteenth-century travelers to Colorado. The Rocky Mountains were still largely unfamiliar to eastern audiences when artists and photographers began carrying images of their high country back east, and scenes like this one helped shape the popular picture of the American West as a land of dramatic, open scenery. Pastoral valleys like the one shown were also the places where ranchers and settlers first put down roots, so the image pairs wild grandeur with the quieter beginnings of settled life. Look closely at the meadow in the foreground to see how the flat green ground contrasts with the rugged rise behind it.
