Copyrights: All pictures were taken by amateur photographer Bruce Guthrie (me!) who retains copyright on them. Free for non-commercial use with attribution. See the [Creative Commons] definition of what this means. "Photos (c) Bruce Guthrie" is fine for attribution. (Commercial use folks including AI scrapers can of course contact me.) Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested. Descriptive text, if any, is from a mixture of sources, quite frequently from signs at the location or from official web sites; copyrights, if any, are retained by their original owners.

Accessing as Spider: The system has identified your IP as being a spider.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Help? The Medium (Email) links are for screen viewing and emailing. You'll want bigger sizes for printing. [Click here for additional help]

GRCSM_220714_0215.JPG: Too Thick to Drink, Too Thin to Plow Spanish missionary Fray Francisco Garces, while exploring the region in 1776, named the river Rio Colorado -- Colorado River -- inspired by its reddish color. Before Glen Canyon Dam was built, the Colorado River was free-flowing. It carried 86 million tons of sediment through Grand Canyon every year. The clear green water that flows through Grand Canyon today is sediment-starved. Choked back by Glen Canyon Dam, the sediments settle to the bottom of Lake Powell. A muddy Colorado River echoes its former character, carrying sediment delivered by flooding tributaries downstream of Glen Canyon Dam.

The canyon's grandeur attracts millions of visitors each year from all over the world. Find 150 years ago: John Wesley Powell led the first geologic exploration through Grand Canyon in 1869. Find 1,000 years ago: Ancestral Puebloans farmed the canyon bottom. These rooms were used to store their crops. Find 4,000 years ago: Paleo-Indians made split-twig figures. These 4,000-year-old figurines have been found in caves. They are some of the oldest human-made artifacts in Grand Canyon. Find 10,000 years ago: Nomadic hunters lived here 10,000 years ago. They may have influenced the collection of large ma mammals like the Shasta Sloth.

For besides helping ourselves, you see. We are helping Mother and Dad." -- Robert L. Robeson, CCC Enrollee The nearby plaque commemorates an amazing feat achieved by members of the Civilian Conservation Corp (CCC) in the 1930s - construction of a telephone line spanning the entire width of Grand Canyon. One of the poles still stands behind this wall. Beginning in 1934, CCC enrollees worked through winter snow and summer heat to survey and clear a right-of-way roughly following the Bright Angel and North Kaibab trails. Supplied by pack mules, they set 592 galvanized pipe telephone poles and completed stringing the 18 miles (29 km) of copper-weld wire in 1935. Captions: The even stone wall on the canyon rim through Grand Canyon Village is a fine example of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal. Young men employed in the Civil Works Administration (CWA), the Public Works Administration (PWA), and the CCC all built sections of the wall, completing it in 1935.

What is a mule? Mules are hybrids, a cross between a male burro and a female horse. How long do mules live? How old are the ones visitors ride? Mules live about 30-35 years. The ones visitors ride are between 6-25 years old (10 years average). Can I pet or feed the mules? No, please. It is dangerous Will the mules bite? Yes, they might. They are not aggressive, but if someone reaches out with hands that smell like food, they will bite. Why mules? Why not horses Mules carry more weight, are less temperamental, and are more economical. And, as one wrangler said, "The difference between riding a mule and riding a horse is like the difference between riding in a Cadillac and riding in a washing machine. Mules are just a whole lot smoother." Where do Grand Canyon's passenger mules come from? Mostly from Tennessee. Often used for tobacco cultivation, mules are generally sold wherever tobacco is grown. The Fred Harvey Company, which operates the mule rides, buys about 15-20 each year. Where do I get information about taking a mule ride? Information is available at all park hotel desks. Reservations are made through the Bright Angel Transportation Desk in the lobby of Bright Angel Lodge. Must I make reservations? Absolutely! A year in advance is recommended. How long do mule rides take? Where do they go? There are two different trips: a day trip and an overnight trip. The day trip takes about 8 hours. Starting here at 8:00 a.m., it goes to Plateau Point about half way into the canyon, then returns here by about 4:00 p.m. The overnight trip leaves here around 7:00 a.m. (8:00 a.m. in Winter) and descends to Phantom Ranch in the canyon bottom, where riders spend the night. The trip out is via Kaibab Trail, 5 miles east of here, and ends by about 4:00 p.m. What should hikers do when mules are passing? Stand quietly to the inside of the trail and follow instructions from the wrangler. Mules have the right-of-way. Do the mules ever fall? Have there been accidents? Almost never. There has never been a human death associated with passenger mules. Occasionally pack mules have fallen. Passenger mules are chosen carefully. They must not be easily excited. The greatest hazards involve heat and interaction with hikers. "If the mule should slip, all would be over. BUT - the mule doesn't slip. The trail is never as narrow or as steep as you will describe it when you get back home. If it were, no living animal could possibly make the trip safely." Fred Harvey publication, 1909

164. GRCSM_220714_1196.JPG: right Angel Trail Each year thousands of hikers enter Grand Canyon on the Bright Angel Trail. They follow a tradition - and a trail route - established by prehistoric people. For centuries humans have used this route for two key reasons: water and access. Water emerges from springs at Indian Garden, and erosion along the Bright Angel Fault creates a break in the cliffs, providing access to the springs. When prospectors arrived here in the late 1800s, Havasupai Indians were using the route. Prospectors improved the Havasupai route, but soon realized that the canyon's wealth lay in tourism, not ore. By 1903 one prospector, Ralph Cameron, had secured control of the trail by strategically locating mining claims. He then charged a $1.00 toll per trail user. For years Ralph Cameron battled to defend his precarious legal claim to the Bright Angel Trail, all the while collecting tolls. In 1928 the National Park Service gained control of the trail and tolls ceased. The Bright Angel has been Grand Canyon's most popular trail ever since.

168. GRCSM_220714_1217.JPG: Hermit Road Today, most visitors will travel the Hermit Road by shuttle, but in 1912 when the road first opened, you would have traveled by horse or buggy. The Santa Fe Railway and U.S. Forest Service built the buggy road so early visitors had a choice in experiencing the canyon. Until then, the easiest option for entering the canyon was by Ralph Cameron's trail (today's Bright Angel Trail), which had a dollar toll, equal to about $20 today. Hermit Road enabled visitors to reach the Hermit Trail, where they could hike into the canyon or stay overnight at Hermit Camp.

171. GRCSM_220714_1239.JPG: Orphan Mine Something unexpected once stood on the rim in front of you. A steel headframe towered over a mineshaft that dropped 1,500 feet (460 m) to one of the richest uranium mines in the United States. From 1956 to 1969, miners extracted ton after ton of uranium ore from this 20-acre (8 ha) claim. The mine goes back to 1891, when Dan Hogan-an orphan-discovered copper here. Hogan built a daring trail to his Orphan Mine Lode 1,000 feet (330 m) below you. He gave up mining in 1936 and built a lodge and trading post on the rim, which, in 1947, became Grand Canyon Inn. Business quickly changed when uranium ore was confirmed here in 1951. "I gazed in wonderment at a mine existing at the very rim of the Grand Canyon." -- Maurice Castagne, 1958-1969 Mine Superintendent

174. GRCSM_220714_1270.JPG: Early Explorer This monument honors Major John Wesley Powell, the leader of the first documented expedition through Grand Canyon. Imagine entering the depths of Grand Canyon down a roaring, not-yet-charted river, not knowing whether you will emerge. Because Powell's first expedition in 1869 was more survival than science, he led a second in 1871-1872, which gave America its first geologic glimpse of the canyon. The names Frank Goodman, William Dunn, and brothers Oramel and Seneca Howland, 1869 expedition members, are missing from this 1912 monument. All were labeled "deserters"-though not by Powell-for leaving the voyage. Goodman left after the first major rapid in northern Utah. Dunn and the Howlands left just two days before the trip's end. They attempted to climb out of the canyon, but were never heard from again. "There are great descents yet to made....maybe, we shall come to a fall...we cannot pass...where the water is so swift we cannot return...How will it be in the future!" -- John Wesley Powell

186. GRCSM_220714_1332.JPG: A Trail, a Camp, and a "Hermit" Directly behind you, looking down into Hermit Canyon, you can see part of Hermit Trail and the remains of Hermit Camp. In 1911-12 the Santa Fe Railroad built both trail and camp to serve a blossoming tourist trade. Why did Santa Fe build here at remote Hermit Canyon, 9 miles from the depot? By building their own trail here the railroad avoided tolls on the privately-controlled Bright Angel Trail. With some sandstone-paved sections and rock walls along the outer edge, Hermit Trail was once considered the finest trail in the Canyon. A local newspaper in 1912 described the new trail as “a marvel of engineering skill.” Though nature has since restored Hermit Trail to a rough and rugged condition, it is still very popular with backcountry hikers. A Santa Fe Grand Canyon Trip After arrival at the Grand Canyon Village train depot, Santa Fe patrons travelled 9 miles by open-top touring stage to Hermits Rest, 1 mile west of here. A mule ride to the river and overnight stay in a tent at Hermit Camp completed their two-day adventure. Cost: $18.25. Santa Fe Railroad cared about patron comfort. Tents included stoves, glass windows, real beds, and wooden floors covered with Navajo rugs. Cabins eventually replaced tents. The camp even had telephone service. An aerial tramway from here at Pima Point carried supplies to Hermit Camp. In 1928, the Federal Government gained control of the Bright Angel Trail at Grand Canyon Village and tolls there ceased. With free use of that more-convenient trail, the Santa Fe abandoned Hermit Camp. Why the Name "Hermit"? Around 1891, Canadian-born prospector Louis Boucher staked claims below present-day Hermits Rest. With help, Louis carved a trail into the Canyon and for years lived alone at nearby Dripping Springs. He has been described as a kind, gentle soul. Though not a true hermit, Louis Boucher is the "hermit" for whom local features are named.
187. GRCSM_220714_1348.JPG: Rest House Your visit and rest here is part of a long tradition started in 1914 with the opening of Hermits Rest. After an 8-mile (13 km) buggy ride, you would be greeted by the resident caretaker and offered a refreshing drink to clear the dust from your throat. The smell of mules nearby may have filled the air and smoke wafted a pleasant scent from the stone fireplace. After a short walk you would return to El Tovar, or ride a mule the 7.5 miles (12 km) to Hermit Camp for a delightful meal and restful sleep.

GRCSM_220714_1364.JPG: Sing to god, sing praises to his name; lift up a song to him who rides upon the clouds; his name is the lord, exult before him. -- Psalm 68/4 [ I had been annoyed on the shuttle when the driver was talking about a stop called The Abyss. He explained that if someone jumped off, it would take x-number of seconds to die. During that time, he said, the person could try to make amends with their maker but he said that wasn't a problem for him personally because he had already accepted JC as his savior... I thought, why the f--- am I getting evangelical messages from a park service employee? ]
