Remarks & Notes 
A bird's eye view of Rollins Pass (Corona Pass), which was named after John Rollins, who opened a wagon toll road over the Continental Divide, later largely used by Moffat's Denver, Northwestern & Pacific (later D&SL) to create the Rollins Pass line. It was kept as an emergency route even after the Moffat Tunnel's opening, but rails were finally pulled up in 1935.

This view is looking from the north, with Jenny Lake (lower left) and the old summit town site of Corona (just right of center) visible.
