The resort at the canyon mouth opened in 1905, sold itself as the Coney Island of the West, and advertised its spring fed pool as the largest in the country. In 1907 the aeronaut Ivy Baldwin first crossed the canyon on a cable strung between the rock walls, 582 feet above the creek with nothing underneath him. He made the crossing 89 times, the last of them in 1948 when he was 82, and died at his house in the village five years later.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
