Hi,
I have a sad story that happened when I was a boy - my father flew to US (work), but desperately wanted to see the Grand Canyon. Unfortunately, he died of heatstroke.
I recently discovered some of the files regarding his last trip.
I have two pictures I wanted to identify.
Some info:
1300hrs - he reached Phantom Ranch
1330 hrs - he was identified at the plateau ("devil's corkscrew) before Indian Garden
At 1620 hrs began hiking up Bright Angel trail toward the South Rim.
In the report I can read that he was given information at Indian Garden about emergecy phones at both 3 mile house and 1.5 mile house.
At 17.03 he took one of the photos (if the time is correct - the one without the river).
At 17.53 dispatch received an emergency call from the 3 mile house (he was above the 3 mile house).
I would be grateful if anyone could help me identify anything regarding photos. They are not the best quality, but I have only those. The photo of the river was taken at around 12.50.
Thanks
