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.
