Some really cool photos, What struck me was the appearance of the Indians. They look nothing like Elizabeth Warren.

Image #12 reminded me of the desert scenes in ‘The Good, the Bad and the Ugly’.

The Indians haven’t changed all that much.. They’ve discovered the utility of backpacks along the border, however.
To: BO Stinkss
Thanks for finding, and bringing it to us here on FR.

You’re welcome.
I’m curious, are any of the locations you mentioned “untouched” for the most part?
To: BO Stinkss
Some beautiful photos. Having lived in Salt Lake for 4 years in the late 80’s, it was neat to see the photos of Alta and Big Cottonwood Canyon.

I think the water level of Pyramid Lake is just a little lower now.

I lice around those Mohave County sites. Trust me, they are as awesome as they look. But visit the area from Oct to April. Trust me on that too ;)

Canyon De Chelly is likely the closest. I went there first back in the early 1960’s when you could hike the canyon. Of course, much of Nevada remains the same but a lot of the old mines and towns are largely gone. Santa Fe is probably the hardest to recognize and the Snake River has greatly changed. El Moro has a bit of unfortunate graffiti but still looks the same. Zuni has changed but is in part still recognizable.
