Morfar's View of the Winds

80-year-old photographer, Dr. Conrad Smith (Morfar), has spent 7 years searching for the exact rock on which the artist sat in 1842 to sketch the first published image from within the Rocky Mountains which helped pave the way for the Great Western Expansion. Dr. Smith, his daughter, and granddaughter embark on the final expedition to verify the location and reproduce the image as a photograph.
