Summary edit

Description

Loungin' in Grand Canyon #TBT — Today in 1919, the Federal Government turned Grand Canyon Monument (declared in 1908) into Grand Canyon National Park. Since the original establishment of this geologic wonder as a National Park it has been expanded over the years to include other nearby areas.

In this undated photo (likely very early 1900s though), we see a gentleman taking in the sights and relaxing from a hard days work...on the edge of a cliff. From this view, we are looking North across the Grand Canyon from a point on the east side of the Three Castles. Below is the canyon of Hance Creek; in the background, the Walhalla Plateau and its outlier, Wotan's Throne. The dark mass rising on the right is a shoulder of Coronado Butte.
