This sepia-toned stereograph features two nearly identical photographs mounted side-by-side on a rounded, orange-colored cardstock. The central scene depicts a large, pointed granite peak rising sharply in the background. In the midground, a small, two-story wooden building with a dark roof and multiple windows, identified as a hotel, sits at the base of the peak, partially surrounded by tall, thin evergreen trees and smaller shrubs. The orange mount includes vertical text on the left margin that reads "AMERICAN SCENERY," and on the right margin, it reads "C. L. POND, BUFFALO, N. Y.". At the bottom center of the mount, a printed caption in orange text reads: "613—Sentinel Rock, 3,720 feet high, and Hutching's Hotel. Yo Semite Valley, California.".
