Few spots in the Colorado foothills frame the mountains as neatly as this wooded slope in Denver Mountain Park near Golden. Trees form a natural screen, and the eye travels down to a road that bends toward the peaks, a composition well suited to the travel views the National Photo Company sold in these years. The park was part of Denver's system of mountain parks, which the city developed in the 1910s to give residents open, shaded country within reach of town. The picture captures that moment when the foothills were shifting from remote land to a destination for motorists and day-trippers.
