Photograph of an unidentified rock formation, showing narrow railroad tracks to the left, [s.d.]. The narrow set of railroad tracks lie on a pebble path which winds through two opposing rock formations. The formation on the left is tall and sharp with many protruding, jagged edges across its massive wall. The formation on the right is shorter and more rounded with small chips of rock spilling over the cliff on the formation's right side. Tall, dark spruce trees stand along the inner side of the path as well as the cliffs' edge in the background further down the path.
