A distant view of a group of Boy Scouts standing in front of Sturtevant Falls near Santa Anita Canyon. An uprooted tree stands in the foreground at left and extends out-of-frame at left. It is surrounded by rocks that line the ground to the right of it. Beyond the rocks, about 5 Boy Scouts stand at center and play in front of Sturtevant Falls. Behind them and occupying the background is a large, rocky canyon wall. Sturtevant Falls flows down the canyon wall directly behind the boys.
