Three photographers are known: A. W. Davis, W. E. Hook, and Stone & Company. One photograph has an add foe J. G. Hiestand, Mineral Specimens and one for the Denver & Rio Grande Railway and Manitou Springs. Quality of photographs range from dramatic to weak. Ute Trail, which runs along the north side of Pikes Peak is believed to have first been a buffalo trail that delivered buffalo from the "milder winter pastures of the eastern plains" to the "lush, grassy" meadows of South Park, Colorado during the summer months. Joel Palmer wrote in his 1847 Journal of Travels over the Rocky Mountains: "These (buffalo) paths are remarkable in their appearance, being about 15 inches wide, and four inches deep, and worn into the soil as smoothly as they could be cut with a spade."
