Daring tourists (in the 1890´s)

Take a look at these two pictures, and I think you will agree with me in thinking that tourists of the 1890´s were a more daring bunch than their "colleagues" of today. And they were definitively also better dressed!

These visitors are on their way to the top of the pyramid of Cheops , braving  all  the  difficulties.

These five visitors have already reached their destination, Glacier  Point, above Yosemite valley.
