Photograph of a view of the Colorado River looking west from Bass Mystic Spring Trail, Grand Canyon, 1900-1930. A sandy shore (right foreground) slopes gently down to meet the relatively placid water of the river. The opposite bank is a sharp rocky slope. The canyon spreads out in the background. Massive rock formations shaped by erosion tower over the canyon in the distance.
