The view shows Ribbon Falls, a slender waterfall dropping over red rock cliffs in Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona. Ribbon Falls is a travertine waterfall on Bright Angel Creek in the canyon's North Rim area, known for its mossy cone and hanging garden of greenery. A lone figure stands at the lower right, giving a sense of the falls' scale. The national park designation dates to 1919, when Grand Canyon National Park was established, placing this view in the park's early years.
