Natural Color Photograph by Fred Payne Clatworthy THE GLASS OF FASHION IN HOPI LAND

Few of the North American Indians attained as high a degree of civilization as did the cliffdwelling tribes of the Southwest.

The blanket, beads, and silver belt worn by this brave are examples of their craftsmanship.

Probably the first white men to see the glories of the Grand Canyon were Francisco de Coronado's band of Spanish adventurers, who chanced upon it about the middle of the 16th century while seeking the gold of the Seven Cities of Cibola.

A MASTERPIECE OF THE GREAT ARCHITECT OF CREATION

More than 150,000 visitors come each year to stand in awe at this, one of the Seven Wonders of the Natural World, which has been
set aside as a national park. The Grand Canyon is 220 miles long and in places is twelve miles wide at the surface, while the Colorado
River, flowing at a depth of more than a mile, averages 300 feet in width. So mild is the climate at the bottom of the canyon that
flowers bloom summer and winter.
