DescriptionA landscape of the Rocky Mountains in Wyoming. Large craggy mountain peaks dominate the background with one peak covered in snow. In the central ground is a smooth surfaced river, and grouping of trees to the left. Along the shore is a Native American encampment that includes several teepees. A group of horses graze near the shoreline and members of the group congregate in front of the teepees. At the lower left corner stands a tripod and camera covered with a piece of fabric.
