Remarks:
Framing this image are several peaks of the Goat Range in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies, as well as some lovely Canadian fir trees.

Remember this spot; you will see it again more than a decade later at a time when the men’s lives have become far more complicated than they are here amidst the joy of their Brokeback summer.
