A man stands at the base of a crevasse on the White River Glacier. He is dressed in a short, brimmed hat, long sleeved jacket, trousers, and high lace up boots. In his hand he holds a wooden walking stick with a metal tip. A jagged wall of ice can be seen directly above the climber. The surrounding landscape is filled with uneven terrain of ice. Visible in the distance are glacial peaks.
A group of mountian climbers stand at the edges of a glacial crevasse. A woman in the middle of the image climbs down the crevasse using a rope for support. The rope is being held by four individuals. The climbers are dressed in layered garments, boots, hats. They carry bags, ropes, and pointed walking sticks. The surrounding landscape is filled with ice. A rocky cliff can be seen in the distance.
A team of four horses pulls a wooden carriage filled with eight seated passengers. Two small American flags are secured into the bridles of the lead horses. The carriage is located on a dirt road that extends into the foreground of the image. On either side of the road are trees and tree stumps. A log building, identified as Cloud Cap Inn, is partially visible behind the carriage. A mountain identified as Mount Hood can be seen in the distance.
