Description
Photograph of the rapids of the Colorado River just above Bass's Ferry, Grand Canyon, ca.1900-1930. Water swirls around rocks sticking up above and just below the water line. The steep rocky canyon walls hem the river in on both sides, forming a "V". The sun shines on a massive rock formation shaped by erosion rising up out of the canyon in the distance.
