Back in the day (not unlike today) the Grand Canyon was full of characters. When it comes to the early days of tourism here, the Kolb brothers, Emory and Elsworth were a couple of the most well known of these characters. They started a photo studio right on the south rim and eventually made a motion picture of a rafting expidition down the Colorado River. They kept adding on and adding on to their studio/home and today, you can tour that home.
Just head for Kolb Studio at the top of the Bright Angel Trail, get your name on the list and learn about a couple of early characters who made the canyon their home.
In this photo is the Kolb dining room where they entertained famous friends from Presidents to explorers.
If you don't know about the Kolb brothers...you SHOULD!
