Description

Photograph of the West's bus driver posing in front of Pioneer cabin at Igloo Creek in Denali National Park and Preserve. An overgrown, grassy slope slopes upward and back from the foreground. A clear path cuts through it at right. The West's bus driver stands in this pathway and looks to the camera. Behind him at the top of the slope, stands Pioneer cabin, off-center to the right. The camera looks up towards the log cabin that is viewed at an angle from the front and the side. It faces left. A porch extends from the front of the cabin and is strewn with gear and supplies. Open rafters hang over the porch and store additional supplies. Pines stand in the background and a low mountain rises in the distance at center.
