Thompson 440 Grand Canyon March 17, 1934. Today I drove over the Grand View region, down into the Tuzayan Forest about 10 miles on the old Cameron road & the old Flagstaff road, as well as around the quarry & down to Berry's ranch. This gave a good cross section of the worst grazing area. Within the Park, near Grand View, the range is in deplorable condition. Gamble Lake is a mass of dead stubs. Cowania killed outright in some places, left stably in others, etc., showing all degrees of utilization. Within the national forest, the same condition exists for several miles south of the park boundary. Logging is recent & selective here, but it has not obliterated the signs of over-grazing. Further south, a good grass country is entered. Grass grows abundantly under the yellow pines.
