Only two photos in the 1954 calendar were also used on menus (one of which also appeared on the 1950 calendar), but many more seem familiar because they are slightly different versions of scenes depicted on so many other calendars. The Mormon Temple, Old Faithful, Sun Valley Lodge, the Great White Throne, Bryce Canyon, horses in Sun Valley, Grand Canyon, Mt. Hood, Jackson Lake, Hoover Dam — all the usual suspects.

The Mount Hood photo includes two hikers and an interesting rock formation in the foreground; Hoover Dam, the Great White Throne, and a Colorado stream also show hikers while Bryce has a half-dozen horseback riders whose horses are standing still to pose for the camera. The hikers in the Hoover Dam photo appear to be three of the four people shown in the 1955 and 1959 Hoover Dam calendar pictures. Rather than paid models, the people in many of these photos are probably members of the photographers’ families.
