Description

View looking east into the gorge, with the Otira River, the road to the left, with four horses pulling a Cobb & Co coach, alone horseman further up the road. Rata forests on both sides and mountains in the background. According to the accompanying text, the view is taken just below the well-known zig-zag and just before the house of accommodation where the coach changes horses.
