Colorado River in Glen Canyon near Lee's Ferry at the eastern end of the Grand Canyon, ca.1896
Photograph of the Colorado River in lower Glen Canyon near Lee's Ferry, north of the eastern end of the Grand Canyon, Arizona (ca.1896).
The towering nearly-vertical rocky canyon walls loom over the placid river.
A canyon rim is visible in the distance casting a reflection in the water.
