Mystery Photo: Where in the Sierra Nevada or is it elsewhere
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.

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.
