Description
Photograph of a view of Glen Canyon on the Colorado River showing a row boat in the water, ca.1900-1950. Two men in hats and long-sleeved shirts sit in a small, wooden boat at center with one of them rowing through the water which ripples with the disruption of the ores. The water shines with sunlight at its center, but is dark with the reflection of the rock canyon walls on either side. Boulders at the base of the canyon walls line the banks of the river as it winds out of site to the left.
