Boating Amidst Rock Formations
Image
Two women and a man boat through a narrow passageway amidst large rock formations. Wooden debris from an unknown cause blocks their passage. This may be Pewit's Nest, identified on back of stereograph as "Pee-wee's Nest." The people probably arrived by foot since the stream is deep in the gorge but not deep enough for canoeing outside of it.
