During a winter motoring expedition into the San Bernardino Mountains, Donald A. Hall Sr. captured this expansive view of the main alpine resort lodge at Pine Knot in Big Bear Lake, California. Built with a rustic river-rock foundation, dormer windows, and a wide covered porch, the lodge sheltered travelers navigating the snowbound mountain passes in early touring cars, including Hall's yellow 1925 Studebaker Roadster.
