Photograph of a man in a rowboat on the Colorado River in Glen Canyon near Lee's Ferry at the eastern end of the Grand Canyon, ca.1896. The towering nearly-vertical rocky canyon walls loom over the placid river. Vegetation dominates the bank. An arched grotto formed from erosion is visible low down on the canyon wall.
