Title	Campsites among the foothills
Creator(s)	Collier, Joseph.
Summary	Stereographic view of five men, one woman, and a small boy posing in front of a campsite near the Garden of the Gods in the foothills near Colorado Springs, Colorado. One man sits at a low table near the remains of a fire in the foreground; others sit in front of the tent. The man sitting on a rock holds a rifle; a young boy behind him holds a shovel. The woman sits on a chair at the entrance to the tent. Cooking utensils are scattered in front of the table, an ax is stuck in a log, and a picnic basket is on the ground. Several horses are tied up near wagons with their covers removed. Large rock formations stand along the ridge of mountains in the distance.
Date	[between 1875 and 1900?]
