About this postcard

View of the towering red sandstone fins and pinnacles of Red Rocks rising above a grassy slope with scattered pines and a winding path, printed in the saturated color typical of early twentieth-century view cards. The formations, tilted layers of Fountain Formation sandstone along the eastern edge of the Front Range, were a well-known scenic attraction west of Boulder and later became Red Rocks Park, famous today for its open-air amphitheatre. The caption names the site simply as "Red Rocks, Boulder, Colo."
