Colorado River, Grand Canyon, River Mile 52.8, Nankoweap, Downstream View from River Right, 1991

Detailed Description

February 5, 1991: Colorado River, Grand Canyon, River Mile 52.8, Nankoweap, Downstream View from River Right. The river level is higher than it was in the original photograph, but the sand bars appear to have shifted and eroded; mesquite has increased, but not as much as the non-native tamarisk. Many of the Mormon tea plants visible in 1890 persist. Stake no. s1424b in the Southwest Photography Repeat Collection. Photo by Robert H. Webb.
