Photograph of the view from Hotel Point looking west, including Mount We-tha-wa-lee, Grand Canyon, ca.1900-1930. The massive "hump" of rock, Mount We-tha-wa-lee, dotted with shrubs and trees swells up out of the canyon at center in the distance. A massive peninsula of rock with a triangular shape on top juts into the canyon from the left. A tall rock formation shaped by erosion provides a dramatic vantage point for a man in a hat sitting on the ground at right as he peers out over the deep canyon. A pail sits on the ground behind him.
