Photograph of sloping rock formation with a man standing at the foot of cliffs, Red Rock Canyon, [s.d.]. At center, a man wearing pants and a buttoned jacket can be seen standing next to a smooth cliff wall. The man can be seen standing on a slop descending to the right. Large rocks and small pieces of debris lie scattered on the cliff. Behind the man, a series of large cliffs with flat peaks are visible. The walls of the cliff appear to be entirely smooth and perpendicular to the slope of the canyon. In the extreme background, additional rock formations are visible.
