Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | Grand Canyon National Park Historic District: South Rim. Prior to train service in 1901 most visitors reached the Grand Canyon by horseback or stagecoach. The first stage line started May 19, 1892. The eleven hour trip from Flagstaff left on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. It returned to Flagstaff on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. There were three stations along the stage line from Flagstaff where visitors rested and dusted themselves off, while fresh horses were hooked up to the stagecoach. Red Horse Station was the last of three stations located on the stage line from Flagstaff. Built in the 1890’s, it was originally known as Moqui Station and located about 16 miles south of Grand Canyon village. In 1902 Ralph Cameron moved Red Horse Station to its present site and converted it into a 2-story hotel, called the Cameron Hotel. The first story was squared logs while the upper story was wood shingled. There was a covered porch around three sides of the first floor with a stairway along the porch to the ground. In 1907 it became a U.S. Post Office. It was slated to be destroyed in the early 1930’s but Mary Colter, aware of its historical significance, insisted it be saved together with Buckey O’Neill Cabin and incorporated into the Bright Angel Lodge. The cabin is now one story and has been remodeled into a 2-room guest cabin. It sits on a stone foundation. The once mudchinked logs are now chinked with cement. The walls and ceilings are still uncovered logs with plaster chinking on the ceiling. The floor is made of pegged oak boards. NPS Photo by Michael Quinn.
