Grand Canyon Day 3, Part 4: Hopi House



2:00 p.m. Since we have two hours until we can check into the Maswick Lodge, we visited the 100-year old Hopi House, a souvenir shop named for the Indian tribe and styled after their architecture (including doors about 5 1/2 feet tall).

Amidst the touristy trinkets, I of course was fascinated by the book "Death at the Grand Canyon," a 300-page volume answering in gripping detail the most common question of park rangers: How many people fall off each year? (Answer: very few).
