The sky occupies the upper portion of the canvas in blue-grey with large white cloud formations and a warm cream and pale yellow area at the upper centre. Below the sky, two mountain ridgelines are visible. The right ridgeline is long and rendered in orange-gold and mauve, while the left ridgeline carries deep orange-red and mauve tones. A dense mixed conifer stand in dark green and purple occupies the right mid-upper area. On the left, the slope is rendered in orange-red. At the centre of the composition, several tall dead standing trees with pale grey-white trunks and sparse upper branches rise vertically. Below the ridgelines and tree line, the terrain descends into a canyon where dark purple-maroon rock faces flank a central waterfall. The waterfall splits into two channels before dropping over the rock ledge. Green vegetation appears along the upper ledges of the canyon walls. The falls are rendered in white and pale blue impasto marks. In the foreground, a dark pool in deep maroon, navy, and near-black occupies the lower canvas. Two pale grey-white fallen logs cross the pool diagonally. The artist's signature, \"Monett,\" appears in red in the lower right of the canvas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c!-- Provenance --\u003e\n\u003cdetails aria-label=\"Full provenance information\" class=\"provenance-details\"\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFull Provenance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProvenance information is not currently recorded.
