Nankoweap

(Grand Canyon)

Near the bottom of Nankoweap Canyon, overlooking the Colorado River, is a nicely-preserved granary. The picture at left shows the ruin's four rooms, used by the Anasazi 900 years ago to store food. The photo at right was taken from the ruin, looking downriver. The Nankoweap Trail, which leads from the North Rim down to the general vicinity of the "cliff dwelling," has the longest distance, greatest elevation change, and probably the least amount of use/maintenance of any trail in the Grand Canyon.
