View of two Tenth Mountain Division, Mountain Training Group members during five minute break as they choose a route during a trek from Leadville to Aspen Colorado. According to the photographer, during good weather the men would try not go up and down many hills and so they probably headed for the saddle in the middle distance, to avoid the steep terrain on the right.
