Photograph, from left to right, of Will P. Mead, Mary A. West, Sena Mead and Paul Mead riding in a horse-drawn wagon as they travel through San Gabriel Canyon. The wagon rig is viewed at an angle from the front as it approaches the camera; it faces left. A narrow dirt pathway stretches on an upward angle from the lower left corner to the right. Two horses pull the wagon along this pathway and stand nearest to camera. They pull the wagon towards the camera and face slightly left. Behind the horses, Mary A. West and the Mead family sit in their open wagon. Will Mead faces left and sits directly behind the horses. The women sit behind him. Mary A. West is at center and Sena is to her right; she holds her infant son Paul. The trunk of a crooked tree stands directly behind them. Tall grasses span the canyon floor. Low mountains rise in the distance at left.
Photograph, from left to right, of Will P. Mead, Paul Mead, Sena Mead and Mary A. West riding in their wagon as they ford a stream in San Gabriel Canyon. The horse-drawn wagon fords a stream in the near distance at center. It is viewed from the side and faces left. Two horses pull the wagon at left and face the left. Behind them at right. Will P. Mead sits in the front of the wagon and appears to handle the horses' reins. Paul Mead sits on Sena Mead's lap behind and to the right of Will. Mary A. West sits in partial view behind and to the right of Sena. All face left. Rocks dot the stream that flows across the image and beneath the wagon in the mid-ground. Stretching across the foreground is a muddy bank strewn with rocks. Behind the wagon, the far bank is covered in small rocks. A cliffside rises from the bank and stretches across the background.
