Photograph of the view looking north from Rock Camp, Grand Canyon, ca.1900-1930. Wild grass, shrubs, brush and small trees grow in the relatively flat rocky area in the foreground. Rocky slopes rise steeply up on both sides. The canyon rim and massive rock formations shaped by erosion are bathed by sun as they tower in the distance.
