Colorado River, Grand Canyon, River Mile 61.4, Little Colorado River, Downstream View from River Right, 1990

January 23, 1990: Colorado River, Grand Canyon, River Mile 61.4, Little Colorado River, Downstream View from River Right. A century later, many of the same plants are still visible, with some mortality and recruitment of the Mormon tea, catclaw, and pricklypear. The gravel bar has been altered over the intervening century and is much wider on the right-hand side, and scattered shrubs – probably non-native tamarisk – have become established on its surface.
