Tom Sawyer Island and Mark Twain, 1960s

Frontierland's Rivers of America is such a beautiful and important element in the western side of Disneyland that it is nearly impossible to imagine it not being there. The real estate is considerably more developed than it was back when these photos were taken (my guesstimate is that they are from the late 1960s, though they are undated). There's more for guests to do, but the place feels less like "the frontier".Tom Sawyer Island is lush and green, perhaps this was a brutal SoCal winter. At first I thought that there were no guests visible, but there is one (or two?) to the extreme left, and I can't quite tell what the red and yellow shape is near the raft landing. Views of the Mark Twain from this general vantage point are among the more common images in many lots of slides. But it's so pretty! The two photos merged beautifully, which is always a nice bonus.
