Taken from the front of Grand Canyon Lodge on the North Rim, this view looks out over the canyon edge rather than at the building alone. The lodge opened in 1928, built for the Utah Parks Company, a Union Pacific subsidiary that promoted tourism to the region's parks. Keystone View Company, a major American publisher of stereo cards, issued this print to be seen through a stereoscope, which gave the canyon a sense of depth. The c1929 date comes from a caption card and has not been verified.
