Photograph, from left to right, of Mary A. West, Chester Schmitz and Kate A. Schmitz in their campsite near Silver Lake. Mary A. West sits nearest the camera at center. She is sitting on the ground, facing right, but turns her head to look to the camera as she rests a hand down to the ground behind her. Pieces of fabric lie about the patch of grassy ground that surrounds Mary. Behind her, a few pots and pans sit on the ground. Further behind her at right, Kate A. Schmitz appears to be washing a pot while Chester Schmitz sits in front of her. A sliver of a stream is visible along the right edge of the frame. Behind Mary and to the left, the camp stove stands; it is viewed from the side. A tent (partial view) and a pile of branches sit even further behind Mary on the left. A mountainside occupies the far distance.
Photograph of: Mary West, Kate Schmitz, Albert Schmitz, Chester Schmitz, Irene Schmitz, Elizabeth West and Frances West visiting the pool at the base of a waterfall somewhere above Silver Lake. The pool sits in the lower right corner. It cascades over a small weir and flows in the distance from right towards center where it disappears into the trees. A wood-plank barrier lines the pool. Members of the Schmitz and West families stand on the rocks to the left of the barrier. Chester Schmitz sits at the bottom edge of the image at center. His head is tilted downward and he faces right. Albert Schmitz stands behind him, facing right. He holds onto Irene Schmitz, who is to the right of him, as she approaches the barrier. Elizabeth West stands behind them and looks to the camera; she is partially obscured by Albert and Irene. Frances West sits behind Irene and to the right of Elizabeth. Only her hat is visible. Standing further to the left of the barrier and among the rocks are, from front to back, Mary A. West and Kate A. Schmitz. Both face the left, but Mary West turns her head towards Kate. Trees line the banks of the stream as it flows into the distance.
