Period detail
Short bobbed hair, matching pale green shirts and dark shorts suit the later 1960s, and the women wade in ordinary clothes without any visible hiking gear.
Film character
Soft-focus small-gauge colour film with visible grain, cool green-blue rendition, pinkish highlights on wet stones, darkened corners and a handheld mid-shot zoom.
Historical context
The shot shows casual river walking in a canyon that the reel's trailhead sign identifies as the route into the Zion Narrows, done in street clothes of the period.
Research note
Two private individuals appear, mostly from behind with one soft partial face; copyright in the film is separate from likeness rights, which commercial users should assess themselves.
