Description
Photograph of a view of Superstition Canyon at the entrance to Death Valley, California, ca.1900/1950. An early automobile rests at the left in a narrow pass, next to a tall, craggy rock face, while two men lean against a second, taller rock face to the right. The ground is flat and appears to be hard. A third rock face is visible in the distance.
