The group stands in a row and all look to the camera, except for Josie Shaw; she gazes off towards the right. Tahquitz Lodge extends from left to right, at an angle, behind them. The porch and a door to the lodge are visible behind Forrest Whitaker at left. Trees seem to grow through the roof of the building behind Mertie West. A narrow, curved walkway stretches behind the group and in front of the lodge. It starts at left and curves up towards the right, parallel with the lodge. A cabin is visible in the background at right next to the lodge. A sign hanging off of the eave of the building behind the group reads, "[...]ITZ L[...]."
