This stereoscopic view was one of 500 that were awarded the "Silver Medal of Colorado Industrial Association of 1878 and 1879. It was published by Charles Weitfle of Central City, Colorado. "The whole length of the Canon is 11 miles. The Royal Gorge, the grandest national wonder, is 1 1/2 miles. Its perpendicular walls rise up 2,000 feet, while the curves add the finishing touches to its grandeur, and the roar of the narrow, pent-up Arkansas is re-echoed from the high walls of granite, making a lasting impression on the traveler and admirer, Altitude, 1,000 feet."
