#148 – Based on a dated stereopticon published in 1867, pioneer Denver photographer William Gunnison Chamberlain (1815-1910) journeyed south through Pleasant Park (now Roxborough Park) and then west via the Stevens Gulch Road to the banks of the South Platte River and took this earliest known photograph of the interior of Platte Canon. The rocky point directly across the river can be very easily identified in later photographs looking down on the Stevens Gulch Trestle.
