Description

Photograph of sightseers and vehicles stopping on the road between Lake Louise and Banff to look at mountain goats. A road spans the width of the bottom frame and narrows as it extends back through center. Cars park in partial view along the roadside at far left and right. The car at left is viewed from the front and the car at right is viewed from the rear. Ahead of the car at right, a sightseeing bus is parked. On the rear of the bus, it reads, "ROCKY MT. TOURS C[...]." At left and across the road from the bus, several sightseers cluster together in the near distance. They stand with their backs to the camera as they glance up at a mountainside at right to look at goats. The mountainside rises alongside the road at right and extends beyond the frame.
