West Coast to Rockies, 1937-38

This 1937-1938 amateur film sweeps from San Francisco’s Twin Peaks pan and shaky Bay Bridge shots to a POV drive across the Golden Gate Bridge. It captures Southern Pacific train passengers, Fleischacker Zoo’s bears and sea lions, and Santa Monica’s shoreline. Brief glimpses of UCLA and Forest Lawn precede stunning Grand Canyon and Colorado Rockies vistas, plus Denver’s city parks and western scenery, blending urban bustle with natural grandeur in an unsteady yet charming reel.
