The street surface appears to be hard packed gravel. The sides of the street are lined with concrete gutters. A tall retaining wall constructed of native limestone supports the ascending portion of the street. A metal guard rail is attached to the retaining wall. A small vehicle appears to be beginning its ascent of the street. The number 1290-b is written on a label that has been stuck to the lower left corner of the slide.
