Today’s selection might be considered our most truly authentic “vintage” post, and it has nothing to do with the fact that it was published in one of our earlier issues. Hoag Holmgren’s incredible snapshots entitled “Road Trip 1933” are photographs from a drive taken by his grandfather to the summit of Pike’s Peak nearly 85 years ago. Take a minute today to look over these seven original stills from Issue #6, Spring 2004, and enjoy a real blast from the past.
