Description: A group of two young men and six ladies on an outting in 1905. Note the walking "canes" held by several of the ladies. They appear to be resting at the souvenier photo stand on the mountain trail about half-way to the top of East Mountain. Hiking to the top of East Mountain was a popular pastime for health seekers in the "City Built on Water" around the turn of the century.
