Grand Canyon — South Rim
Grand Canyon is more than a geological spectacle. This South Rim guide connects the canyon's deep-time story with eleven traditionally associated tribes, railroad tourism, El Tovar, Hopi House, Bright Angel Trail, the Kolb photographers, science interpretation, Mary Colter's Desert View Watchtower and Tusayan Pueblo to show how Americans learned to look at, market and protect a landscape people had already valued for thousands of years.
