Viewing Notes:

"Opens in early morning. Tents in clearing cows breath condenses and spider's webs glisten on cold air. Campers gather firewood. Views of stream, torrent, lake and waterside flowers. Dogs retrieve sticks thrown into water. Man on raft. Fishermen on bank haul in their catch with hand nets and rods. Nets rolled up and fish prepared for cooking. Canoeist. Cows. Loaded pony. Mountain goats. Sheep. Sequence of men climbing rugged peaks, they then descend by ropes. Sunset. Ends with campers sitting around large campfire, singing as they watch the blaze."
