This area near Silver Springs was already popular with tourists and they constructed roads and trails through their property to encourage visitors. They did not charge admission to walk or ride through this unique landscape but the Goerkes reserved all rights to take photographs there. These practices lead to the production of many real photo postcards depicting visitors posing before large rock formations. Source: http://www.metropostcard.com/publishersg.html
