Photograph of a Rocky Mountain Tours Company bus stopped along the roadside in Banff National Park. A road stretches along the bottom edge on an upward angle from left to right. In the near distance and on the far side of the road, a bus is parked, left-of-center. It is viewed at an angle from the front and the side, facing left. Passengers aboard the bus are visible behind the bus's windows. One of the passengers is Mertie West. She sits at the first window behind the driver's seat and looks to the camera. Along the side of the bus, markings read, "BANFF - LAKE LOUISE - JASPER Rocky Mountain Tours Co." Pines stand behind the bus and beyond the road's shoulder. Mountains, obscured by the pine trees, rise in the background at center. Four punched holes line the bottom edge at right.
Photograph of Mertie West standing on a large terrace at the Banff Springs Hotel. Mertie West stands in the foreground, right-of-center. She faces left and wears a coat draped over her shoulders. The balcony she stands on extends behind her through the foreground and mid-ground. Lounging chairs are grouped in clusters on the near side of a stone parapet that lines the back perimeter of the terrace. Other hotel guests stand along the parapet and look past it. Beyond the terrace, Mount Rundle stretches across the background.
Photograph of Mertie West standing on a sidewalk along Banff Avenue in Banff, Alberta. Mertie West stands, right-of-center, on a sidewalk in the foreground. She stands in profile, facing left, but looks to the camera. The sidewalk she stands on enters from the bottom edge at center and extends back to the right. Banff Avenue runs parallel to it, entering frame from the lower left corner and extending into the distance at center. Behind Mertie, at far right, a Texaco gas stations occupies the the street corner. Gas pumps stand at far right and a Texaco sign stands behind Mertie. The King Edward Hotel stands on the far side of the cross street, behind Mertie. Signs for other businesses lining the right side of Banff Avenue are visible beyond the hotel. Buildings also line the left side of Banff Avenue as it stretches into the distance. Cars park along the street and people are visible milling about. Mountains rise in the far distance.
Photograph of Mertie West standing at a viewpoint that overlooks the Bow River Valley and Banff Springs Hotel in Banff National Park. Grasses line the bottom edge of the image. A bus, parked beside the grass, enters frame from the left edge; it is viewed from the side, facing right. Beyond the bus, a drive stretches across the mid-ground. Mertie West stands on the drive, left-of-center. She faces left, but looks to the camera. Behind Mertie, the Bow River Valley stretches across the image and into the distance. The Bow River is forked, flowing through the valley at left and right. Tunnel Mountain rises at right, Sulphur Mountain rises in the far distance at center and another mountain rises along the left edge. Banff Springs Hotel is barely visible in the distance at the base of Sulphur Mountain and to the left of Tunnel Mountain.
