On The Trail - William Henry Jackson

Watched a documentary about National Parks over the weekend. They mentioned William Henry Jackson a painter, photographer, and the first person to take photos in Yellowstone.
I've always liked the look of hand tinting (psychedelic!) so I thought I'd share a few of these. At first I was going to post some landscapes but then these "Trail Life" photos caught my eye.
Hoping to break out the tent soon.
