Photograph of a set of large wagon wheels sitting on display outside the Furnace Creek Camp in Death Valley National Park. The set of wheels sits in the foreground, off-center to the left. They are viewed at an angle. Eighteen spokes sit around the axle of each tall wheel. Behind the wheels, a dirt road passes through the image on an upward angle from left to right. The entrance to the campground stands obscured behind the wheels at left. A car is parked in the near distance at right and is viewed from the side. Behind it, cabins are visible lining the far side of the road at right.
