This photo was taken around 1910. I'm needing to figure out where for a book I'm writing. Note the "wall" in the background. Could this be Tioga Pass?

That "wall" looks like it could be snow fence.

Yes, Does look like a snow fence or a wall.

That scene doesn't look immediately familiar. It isn't Tioga Pass, for the background does match. I can't think of any place in the Sierra that matches this view.

The "wall" looks like a dam to me!

Sorry to be of no help to your original question (where is this?), but I have to echo what Mike said. The "wall" in the background looks like a dam.

Are you sure that the photo is even in the US? People riding donkeys hasn't been real common in the US.
