About this postcard

The card pictures Ribbon Falls, a slender waterfall dropping over red rock cliffs in Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona, as identified in the printed caption. Ribbon Falls is a tributary waterfall on Bright Angel Creek in the Grand Canyon's North Rim area, known for its travertine cone and lush hanging garden. A lone figure stands at the lower right, giving a sense of the falls' scale.
