- Description:
- Postcard view of the Needles mountain range with the Colorado River in the foreground. Back of card: THE NEEDLES AND COLORADO RIVER The needle-like formation is seen from highway """"66"""" where it spans the lazy-looking Colorado River. A short distance above the river is ROCK MAZE, this work of prehistoric aborigines is believed to have been a place for funeral rites. A local legend relates that the spirits of the dead, floating down the Colorado, entered the maze and shook off the evil spirits chasing them by losing them in the tangled pathways. . M.P.
