Low trees and shrubs line the right side of the cemetery. At left, a low, stone wall with a wrought iron fence lines the perimeter of the cemetery and wraps along the far side of the park. In the far corner, the graves of Brigham Young and two of his wives lie on the ground. In the far distance, a snow-covered mountain is visible. Text from negative sleeve: 1583. Yellowstone trip 1942.
