Men, women, and children pose beside tents at a camp at what is identified as Fall Creek, possibly in Montrose County or San Miguel County, Colorado. Women sit and wear dresses with knife-pleated hems and hold wide-brimmed straw hats wrapped with ribbons or flowers. A boy wears possibly a knickerbocker suit. A girl wears a lace or linen collar over a jacket and skirt. A man wears a suit and watch chain and poses near a horse equipped with an english bridle and saddle. A flume or hydraulic mining pipe is on the hill in the distance.
