DescriptionView of two small cabins in the woods. They are deeper than they are wide. The one in the foreground has one door and one window on the front, and another window on the side. The second one, which is located behind it and to the left, appears to be structured similarly, though the view of the front is obscured by a line of four guides wearing packs that are walking in front of it. A woman stands near the corner of the first cabin, watching them. There are two mid-sized trees in the middle of the image, close to the cabins, and a small wooden structure to the left.
