The Grand Canyon Of Arizona: How To See It

PREFACE TO REVISED EDITION
Because of the completion of a new driveway along the Rim of the
Grand Canyon, and of a new trail to the Colorado River, a second
edition of this book is deemed necessary.
These improvements, which have recently been made by the Santa Fe
Railway, are known as Hermit Rim Road and Hermit Trail. The first,
said to be the most unique road in the world, is nine miles long on the
brink of the Canyon, and the other, a wide and safe pathway down the
south wall.
The contents of the volume has been revised, and descriptions of
Hermit Rim Road and Hermit Trail have been added. There are also
new portions describing the drives and trips that may be taken through

the forest on the Rim and in the Canyon itself, each carefully planned
so that the traveler may devote to sightseeing whatever amount of time
he desires.
With these additions and alterations, the original plan to provide a
convenient handbook for all travelers to the Grand Canyon is more
complete.

FOREWORD
Upwards of ten years ago I sat on the south rim of the Grand Canyon
and wrote "In and Around the Grand Canyon." In that book I included
much that more than a decade of wandering up and down the trails of
this great abyss had taught me. At that time the only accommodations
for sightseers were stage lines or private conveyance from Flagstaff and
Ash Fork, and, on arrival at the Canyon, the crude hotel-camps at
Hance's, Grand View, Bright Angel, and Bass's. The railway north from
Williams was being built. Everything was crude and primitive.
Now the railway is completed and has become an integral part of the
great Santa Fe System, with at least two trains a day each way carrying
Pullman sleepers, chair cars and coaches. At Bright Angel, where the
railway deposits its passengers at the rim of the Canyon, stands El
Tovar Hotel, erected by the railway company at a cost of over a quarter
of a million dollars, which is equipped and conducted by Fred Harvey.
Yet El Tovar is more like a country club than a hotel, in many respects,
and, to that extent, is better.
Hence while nothing in the canyon itself has changed, and while my
book, "In and Around the Grand Canyon," is still as helpful to the
traveler and general reader as ever, there has been a growing demand
for a new book which should give the information needed by the
traveler who comes under the new conditions,
