Description

Photograph of H. H. West's Buick stopped along a road near the west entrance to Yellowstone National Park. The road extends on a slight angle from the lower left and up towards the right. The Buick is parked in the near distance, right-of-center. It is viewed from the back end. Further down the road, a hut stands on the left side of the road. Signage on and around the structure reads, "LEWIS CABIN CAMP," "SINCLAIR," "LAST CHANCE FOR SINCLAIR," "[P]ENNSYLVANIA," and "POP." On the right side of the road, a couple of signs stand, and they read, "TOTEM CAFE The Most Unique Place In The West CURB SERVICE," and "GAS 23¢ SINCLA[IR]." Tall pines stand off to either side of the road and line it as it extends into the distance.
