Summary
[edit]Description04051A Grand Canyon Historic Clear Creek Trail (7421392300).jpg |
Trail construction on clear creek trail, grand canyon national park. Photographer unknown. Copyright nps. The Clear Creek Trail was built in 1934 and 1935 by the Civilian Conservation Corp (Company 818). It was originally built as a mule trail so visitors at Phantom Ranch would be able to gain access to a scenic side canyon. At the same time, Clear Creek was stocked with trout so that visitors could do a bit of fishing. All mule activity to Clear Creek ceased with World War II, a period when the park experienced extremely limited visitation. Today, this is the only trail traversing the Tonto Platform on the north side of the Colorado River. Because the slope is south-facing, the hike from Bright Angel Campground to Clear Creek is warmer than similar trails in the fall and spring; with the summer being almost too hot to hike. Clear Creek experiences highest visitation in March and April by hikers interested in seeing Cheyava Falls. The falls were first discovered in 1903 when a prospector saw what he thought might be a sheet of ice coating the cliffs up the northeast arm of Clear Creek drainage. The Kolb brothers, famous photographers who lived at Grand Canyon Village on the South Rim, caught wind of this and decided to investigate. They found a nearly 800 foot waterfall, Grand Canyon’s tallest. Though perennial lower down, the “high spout” flows in spectacular fashion only after snowmelt, usually in springtime; in drier years it does not flow at all (Cheyava is a Hopi word meaning "intermittent waters"). |
