A stick figure occupies the foreground, while a teepee village is in the centre of the middle ground and a castle (possibly the Banff Springs Hotel) is in the right-middle ground. Mountains are in the background. The scene on the bottom row is labeled CAVE AND BASIN in the top left corner of the rectangle. Figures stand in front of a building with mountains in the background.
