Description

Photograph of a tipi standing at the horse corral near the Chateau Lake Louise hotel. A grassy field stretches across the foreground and back through the mid-ground. In the near distance, at center, a tipi stands. It is viewed from the side, with the entrance flap facing towards the right. The tipi is sheathed in canvas. It is decorated with triangles at its base, dots, an illustration of a horse with rider and an illustrated bison. Beyond the tipi and in the distance, a road stretches across the image. Pine trees stand behind the road. Mountains rise in the far distance.
