A distant view, from left to right, of Nina Meyers and Mertie West leaning on boulders as they pose in front of Sturtevant Falls near Santa Anita Canyon. A stream flows towards the camera in the foreground at left. Large rocks and boulders sit in the stream and alongside it at right. Nina Meyers and Mertie West pose a little further back at center. Nina sits atop a rock, facing slightly right, and looks to the camera. Mertie leans against a rock, facing slightly left, and looks off towards the left. Behind them and occupying the background is a rocky canyon wall. Sturtevant Falls cascades down the wall behind and to the left of Nina Meyers. A pool sits at the base of the falls in front of the wall and behind the women. Text from negative sleeve: 1226. Santa Anita Canyon, July 4, 5 & 6, 1941. Glen Velzy's cabin, Las Casitas. 1.
