Photo by Kolb Brothers 



THE FIRST MILE OF THE BRIGHT ANGEL TRAIL 



The sheer wall covers the cherty limestone and the cross-bedded sandstone walls, i,ooo 

 feet in thickness. The buildings on top, reading from the left, are El Tovar Hotel, the 

 Bright Angel Hotel, and Kolb Brothers' studio, a little below the top of the canyon wall. 

 The photograph was difficult to secure, and was taken as described on the opposite page.
