l.l. to l.r. printed: H-1513 COLORADO RIVER AT FOOT OF BRIGHT ANGEL TRAIL, GRAND CANYON, ARIZONA
Verso:
u.l. printed: FRED \ HARVEY "PHOSTINT" \ TRADE MARK REG U. S. PAT OFF. \ MADE ONLY BY DETROIT PUBLISHING CO.
u.l. to c.l. printed: WHEN YOU GO DOWN Bright Angel Trail \ you will gain an abiding sense of the real proportions \ of the canyon. For the first two miles the descent \ is a sort of a Jacob's Ladder, zigzagging at an \ unrelenting pitch. At the end of two miles a \ comparatively gentle slope is reached. Looking \ back from the plateau the huge towers that border \ the rim shrink to pigmies, yet less than one-half the \ descent has been made. Then the final trail begins \ through the granite towards the river. At the foot \ of the trail is the river, from which point is seen the \ Temple of Zoroaster.
l.l. in ink: May 15 '22. \ This is a good place \ we ate kunch here
