Rock faces and mountain views fill the lettering, with angled bands beneath it. The Rocky Mountains are the subject of the greeting, giving this card a regional focus within Colorado.
Rocky Mountain National Park was established in 1915. Around Estes Park, local advocacy helped protect a landscape already attracting visitors. The card’s use of mountain scenery reflects the appeal of the region, even where individual views are unidentified.
