Description

Photograph of the floor of Pacoima Canyon. A stream flows through the center of the image. In the foreground, the stream is bordered by boulders on the left and right. A bunch of low cacti grow in front of the boulders at center. The stream flows into the distance and is lined with rocks and trees. Trees cover the canyon floor and appear to cover the mountainsides rising in the distance.
