Explore "Titan of Chasms. The Grand Canyon of Arizona" by Charles Fletcher Lummis on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Grand View (previously mentioned) may be reached in summer by private conveyance from Flagstaff, a distance of seventy-five miles; or at any time of the year by stage from Bright Angel, sixteen miles along the rim. The rate for round trip, Bright Angel to Grand View, is $2.50 to $5 each person, according to size of party. While Flagstaff is an interesting place to visit -- with its near-by cliff and cave dwellings and San Francisco Peaks -- and the trip thence to the Grand Canyon is a novel one, distance and time are such that most travelers prefer to go in by railroad from Williams.
Grand View Hotel is a large, rustic structure, built near the head of Berry's Trail and about three miles from Hance's Trail, in the midst of tall pines and overlooking the mighty bend of the Colorado. This is the point to which visitors were conducted in the days of the old stage line from Flagstaff.
