Saltcedar, sandbar willow, and seep willow grow densey at the mouth of Deer Creek. Coconino County, Arizona. 1972.

Album caption and index card: Few raft parties pass here without stopping: between 1963, when Glen Canyon Dam was completed, and August 1972, an estimated 50,000 people had visited this site. Saltcedar, sandbar willow, and seep willow grow densely at the mouth of Deer Creek in spite of the heavy human impact. The large blocks and boulders have not changed noticeably but changes involving some of the smaller rocks along the beach are evident. The large sand deposit on the left in the old photograph is gone (see photo no. 61). Grand Canyon National Park. Coconino County, Arizona. August 24, 1972.
