Bound album measuring 8x6" with text containing a daily narrative of a 1922 trip by Mary Newby Tom and four others, accompanied by postcards and printed images of locations described. Most images are printed or commercially produced, with some original photographs included. Tom describes travelling by train from New York City to Niagara Falls, Chicago, Colorado, Arizona (including the Grand Canyon), California (including Long Beach, Los Angeles, and San Francisco), and Seattle, and then returning east through Canada.
The album's title page reads: "Trip to California by Mrs. Clinton White Toms," and lists the other travellers: Mrs. George D. Newby, Mrs. James W. Hall, Miss Mary Newby Toms, and Mrs. Clinton W. Toms. The date (1922) is based on date appearing on a photograph in the album (4-22-22) which matches the description of the narrative from that page. The album's title pages do not include a year.
