Description

Photograph of Mertie West sitting on the back bumper of H. H. West's Buick and posing in front of Mount Hood. A mountain road passes through the image on a curved angle from the lower left corner and back towards right-center. H. H. West's Buick is parked in the near distance at center, alongside the road. It is viewed from the rear. Mertie West sits on the far-right side of the bumper and looks to the camera. A hillside slopes up from the road at right. Pines cover a landscape that stretches along the left side of the road and back towards Mount Hood. Mount Hood is covered in snow as it rises in the distance at center.
