The second reel is a series of home movies in Color taken during a train trip beginning in Clovis, N.M. traveling west through the Grand Canyon to California and up to San Francisco, including the zoo, docks and street car rides. The sites include Native American dance performances and visits to national monuments and architectural wonders of the mid-1950s.
