Description
Photograph of the "Temple of the Sun" cliffs in Red Rock Canyon, [s.d.]. Short, dark bushes lie scattered across the dusty field in the foreground with the tall canyon across the far edge. The surface of the rock wall reveals lines indicating the layers of rock which reach across the width of the canyon. Many of the cliffs above form jagged peaks with what look like thick columns of detached rock standing in rows in front of them. A taller portion of rock stands above the cliffs on the right with similar detached columns along its walls.
