From Canvas to Castles:
Wylie Way Camp, 1917-1927:
Early in the twentieth century, wealthy ladies and gentlemen yearning for a peak at the fabled Grand Canyon found few urban comforts along its northern rim. While visitors on the South Rim relaxed in the luxurious accommodations on the cliff-hugging El Tovar, visitors to the isolated North Rim braved the outdoors in canvas tents. Elizabeth Wylie McKee managed the North Rim's main tourist facility, the Wylie Way Camp, from 1917 until 1927. |
