Mohave Canyon

A steep rocky embankment looms in shadow at left. A tide mark is visible on the nearly vertical wall near the water line. The near bank is dried cracked mud. A few small pieces of driftwood sit on the bank. A rope lays on the bank at right. Across the placid river and in the distance rocky hills rise.
