Description
Photograph of a train passing The Spires in the valley of Granite Dells near Prescott, Arizona, ca.1900. The tall eroded spires of granite sit apparently precariously next to railroad tracks. Scrub grass and other low shrubs are the predominant vegetation in the surrounding generally flat landscape. The engine and first two cars of a passing Atchinson, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railroad train are visible at left.
