View From Snow Mountain, August 1958

Before there was a Matterhorn mountain at Disneyland, there was a semi-landscaped pile of dirt known as Snow Mountain. For a brief time guests were encouraged to hike it's winding trails or just sit on the benches at the top and take in the view. Matterhorn1959 recently had a great picture of these trails and benches.

In June of '58, the Alice in Wonderland attraction opened, and mere weeks later these photos were snapped by a photographer with a short right leg. The "Alice" ride is almost as fun to watch from afar as it is to ride, thanks to the elevated track that winds through the giant plants, and those fantastic caterpillar vehicles.


If you look very carefully, you can just see bits of one or two of the female cast members who wore Alice-style blue dresses with white pinafores.
