Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. A rock and log entryway to the Grand Canyon arches over a roadway. It is viewed off to the right side of the road that approaches the entrance. The road stretches upward from low left to the right. Two tall pillars made of stacked stones stand on either side of the road. They taper towards the top. Between the 2 pillars, a long, log beam stretches between them and a sign hangs down from the beam over the road. The sign reads, "-ENTERING- ·GRAND·CANYON·NATIONAL·PARK·." A sign posted on the ground in front of the nearest rock pillar reads, "ENTRANCE PERMIT CARS $1.00 TRAILERS $1.00 MOTORCYCLES $1.00." Trees stand in the distance on the opposite side of the road. Text from negative sleeve: 570. Grand Canyon trip, May 1942. From Flagstaff we drove back to Williams, thence to the Grand Canyon. Entrance to Grand Canyon, with Mertie West at rear of car. A close up of the entrance. The checking station. The car ahead of us was driven by a lady and she drove a steady 45 miles per hour from Williams to the checking station. Her husband was an army officer, and they had a couple of children. On reaching the checking station I went up and complimented her on her beautiful driving. Seems to me they were from Texas. 3 negatives
