The most remote re-mote and unexplored Ind.an nuns in the state. , So many people are amazed at the beauty and vastness of the Grand Canyon, but few have seen the wondrous sight which we beheld on our recent trip into this land of lugged beauty. To reach the "Ruin Park," as we call it, you either fly in, as we did, or pack in on mules 01 horseback, as there are no roads into the Valley. We found a space clear enough to serve as a landing- field and sat the Stinson down on it. We were loaded quite heavily with our camping equipment and water, but had no difficulty in landing safely. We found old Indian cliff dwellings, untouched for hundreds hun-dreds of years. Broken pieces of pottery and arrowheads, mute testimony of the absenre of souvenir hunters; hundreds of deer, unafraid because they didn't know what to expect from us. We spent three days climbing climb-ing among the cliffs, digging among the ruins and taking color pictures. It was a glorious trip and everyone should take it. 1 |
