Index and Pilot Peaks during fall season

Details

DescriptionThis photograph taken on the Red Lodge - Cooke City Highway depicts a winding gravel road with a rail guard pointing towards Index and Pilot Peaks. The road is lined with boulders, low grasses, and aspen trees in bright yellow fall color. The image is set against a bright blue sky.

Caption on the reverse reads: "Pilot and Index Peaks/ Pilot and Index Peaks are two outstanding landmarks in the Beartooth area. (Pilot is 11,740 ft. in elevation.) From here the RED LODGE SCENIC HI-WAY rapidly drops into the beautiful Clark's Fork Valley, and winds its way along the Clark's Fork River (where fishing is always good) and on to Yellowstone National Park on U.S. Route 212, via Cooke, and Silver Gate, Mont. The aspen trees against the evergreens are breathtakingly beautiful in the fall of the year."TypeImageCreatorFlash's StudioGenrepostcardsDateCirca 1960SubjectWilderness AreasMountainsRoadsContributing InstitutionYellowstone National Park Heritage and Research CenterTime Period Represented1960Digital CollectionYellowstone National Park PhotographsDigital Formatimage/jpgPhysical CollectionYellowstone National Park Museum CollectionPhysical DimensionsH 9.0, W 14.0 CMDigitization SpecificationScanned at 1200 dpiDate Digitized2017Photo NumberYELL 199617Contact UsFor more information contact Yellowstone National Park Heritage and Research Center: yell_heritage_center@nps.gov / (307) 344-2264.
