The view looks through a narrow rock tunnel on the Needles Highway, with granite spires rising on both sides and the road continuing beyond the opening under a blue sky. The highway winds through the Black Hills of South Dakota, a route completed in the early 1920s and promoted as a scenic drive for motorists and photographers. The caption calls the Black Hills a place where nature has "out done itself in beauty and grandeur" for the eye and camera.
