Stimson traveled the route during its first week in existence, documenting the road for the state of Wyomings contribution to the 1904 Worlds Fair. His images of now-famous landmarks like the Buffalo Bill reservoir, the Holy City, Chimney Rock, Pahaska Tepee, Sylvan Pass, and Sylvan Lake are some of the earliest existing photgraphs of the route. In 2008, 105 years later, Michael Amundson traveled the same road, carefully duplicating Stimsons iconic original photographs.
