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. Text from negative sleeve: 1184. San Gabriel Canyon about 1903.
