Greetings from Grand Canyon Large Letter
Additional Details:
| The story of the Canyon coming to civilized man, begins with its discovery in 1540 by Don Garcia Lopez de Cardenas and twelve companions. Sent out by Coronado via the Hopi villages, they secured guides to direct them as the Hopi had declared " to a great river within a deep canyon, by the side of which lived a race of giants." They found the banks so high and rugged that it was impossible to reach the water. They marched several days along the rim searching for an opening by which they might descend to the stream but there seemed to be one continuous wall and the river appeared as a silver thread below. |
