The Kolb brothers' studio on the rim
1904
Grand Canyon Village, South Rim, Arizona

Emery and Ellsworth Kolb built a photography studio onto the lip of the canyon at the head of the Bright Angel Trail and photographed the mule parties heading down. There was no water on the rim to develop with, so one of them ran four and a half miles down to Indian Garden and back up with the plates, daily, for years. In 1911 they ran the river with a movie camera and then showed the film in their own building continuously for sixty years, which is the longest run of any film anywhere.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
