According to the negative sleeve, this set of photographs is captured in color. The scans of these images are in black and white.
A poorly-lit photograph of 3 women at Banff Springs Hotel standing at the veranda's edge and looking out towards the Bow River Valley in Banff National Park. The veranda stretches across the foreground. Chairs sit along the left and right edges of the veranda. At center, 3 women lean over a low stone parapet that stretches across the image. They stand with their backs to the camera and face towards the Bow River Valley in the distance. Beyond the porch, mountains along the right and left (Tunnel Mountain) edges rise in the near distance. Further across the valley, mountains rise in the distance at center. Four punched holes line the bottom edge at right.
