Repacking burros after swimming across the Colorado River, Grand Canyon, ca.1900-1930

Photograph of two men repacking four burros which the men just swam across the Colorado River, Grand Canyon, ca.1900-1930. They stand on the sandy embankment on the north side of the river where the Bass Ferry lands. They are being prepared for traveling to the north rim. The river is relatively placid at this point. The shore is steep and rocky in the background and across the river. The rough canyon walls rise in the distance.

本照片拍摄于约1900至1930年的科罗拉多河大峡谷，记录了两名男子刚刚将四头驮驴游渡过科罗拉多河后，正在为其重新整理驮运货物的场景。众人身处河北侧巴斯渡口（Bass Ferry）所在的沙质堤岸之上，这些驮驴正被整备妥当，以供前往北缘的行程使用。此段河道水流相对平缓，背景区域与河对岸的岸坡均陡峭多岩，远处可见巍峨起伏的崎岖峡谷岩壁。
