This first one from May of 1960 is a beauty... there is just nothing like Disneyland's Frontierland in its heyday. No wonder visitors were so camera-happy when they were there.
From 1958, the Twain is passing the shore where Cascade Peak would eventually sprout (in 1960). Nothin' but blue skies...
And now jumping forward 17 years to 1975, just look at how lush and verdant the river has become. The trees all but obscure Cascade Peak from this angle, and the steamboat looks like it can juuust squeeze between the trees along the shore.

I always love seeing comparison shots of the same spots in the park.
ReplyDeleteI don't mean to sound melodramatic but that first shot took my breath away! Wow!
ReplyDeleteSeeing the 'living and growing' aspects of the park are very dramatic. Walt famously quipped that "...trees have no scale.." and is very evident in this look.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics, Major. Thank you.
