January 20, 1890: Colorado River, Grand Canyon, River Mile 61.4, Little Colorado River, Downstream View from River Right. January 20, 1890: Stanton photographed this view looking downstream onto the wide, unvegetated gravel bar that extends downstream from the mouth of the Little Colorado River, which enters the mainstem Colorado River opposite the camera station. Scattered Mormon tea, catclaw, and beavertail pricklypear are visible on the mostly barren slopes. Although the view is into the sun, and a light flash appears at upper right, a low snowline appears on the distant cliffs, including Chuar Butte above the river at left center.
