- Pitstop before Glenwood
- "Working on car on way to Glenwood" - Alda Borah 1917. Two men are looking under the hood of a car on the narrow dirt road winding through Glenwood Canyon. The drive to Glenwood Springs was an all-day adventure that required a few stops along the way. The body of water in the back would have been the Grand River at the time, later renamed to the Colorado River. In the left background, a utility pole can be seen along the railroad tracks across the river.
