Grand Canyon, Saturday April 18-1925
Cold windy night.
At 8 A.M. I start east on the rim trail to Grand
Point and to E. of Yarapecsi Point. It is all getting
very familiar scenery, and I am on little that
is new. But the views are as fascinating as
ever.
The foot of the Plateau comes down as far
as the base of the Hermit shale, but here it is much
dreadful. And yet ceases with the base of the
Kaibab. The Coconino is nearly always a
vertical cliff.
At 3.45 I took a walk W to Hopi Point to
see the last of the Grand Canyon. Got back at 5.30.
Called at El Tovar to see if there's any mail and
just then Mrs. Mulford came up to me and
said that she ad her son John had just ar-
rived by auto from Williams. I am sorry they
did not come earlier. It is now too late for
me to stay long since I have my railway tickets.
All arranged and booked.
At 7.35 I am off in a sleeper that goes through
to Chicago, will be with me in New York Wed-
nednesday night.
