Men pose beside a log balanced on a large rock in Bear Creek Canyon (Jefferson County), Colorado. A sign on the log reads: "If You Knew How This Log Come Here [sic] You Would Camp On High Ground." The men on the rock have sledgehammers, probably to dynamite the rock. A team of horses hauls a load of small rocks. Logs form a levee at the edge of Bear Creek probably beside a washed out road.
