The breezeway has been enclosed, making a spacious lobby. You don't have to wait outside in the weather.
The entrance doors are now on the southeast side - by the bus stop.

PHOTOGRAPHIC EXPLORATION

OLD TIME PHOTOGRAPHY

Between 1902 and 1976, the Kolb Brothers explored these Canyons. They have since departed, but their cameras continue on.

Now, its our turn to make pictures with them...Their old shutters haven't jammed yet. The bellows are starting to dry and crack... but, most of the time, they manage to keep the light where it belongs.

This section will feature photographs taken with old-time cameras - then and now. Also, technical information and helpful tips on backpacking with the larger formats.
