Photograph of the canyon rim at Bass Camp, Grand Canyon, 1900-1930. A metal post sticks up out of the ground near some trees which are behind it and trail down the slope below. The Grand Canyon spreads out to the right with the flat horizon visible in the distance. Mount We-tha-wa-lee rises like a "hump" in the canyon and is dotted with trees and bushes. Clouds hang below the horizon of the canyon rim in the distance.
