Very good documentary about the Maswik Lodge. Hopi Indians !! oh big story here along with Ancient Aliens. Love those light fittings in the dinning room area. You have put this on the map for many I think. Great work GCHiker ! 👍 Wishing everyone a great weekend from Paul & Kathy in War torn Britain ! 🤝👍✊
Thank you for sharing this wonderful video with us. I am so glad that I watched it. I couldn't agree with you more about how much they care about working class people. Its a shame that Grand Canyon just don't care at all. Thanks again. Good job 👍
I think the old-time superintendent got it right, it is the people of modest means the parks should serve the most. Unfortunately, with today's policies, we are moving in the opposite direction.
That is a really cool research project, thanks for sharing all this information with us. I think people will respect the place more now that they understand it.
This has so much interesting history and facts! I do enjoy the old photos! Your young self on your 1st trip. I imagine borrowing 2k was quite a big deal bag in the day. I do wish the lodging places were more affordable for everyone.
Thank you. It is a funny but true story that I told my father I wished he had bought a new car instead. But I was eleven. It is a real shame that they keep raising the prices of the National Park Lodges. It has led me to reducing the frequency of my visits because of the inceasing costs. Thanks for watching!
This video is excellent and showed how much research you had done to uncover the missing history of Maswik lodge. I am so impressed by you. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video and good job 👍
Based upon the information you have provided, I think you are right, it is elitism. It's too bad they don't respect the hardworking people who made the visit to Grand Canyon. Thanks for the interesting history and analysis.
So nice upload, awesome views from there and presentation, thanks for sharing dear. All the best to you. Have a beautiful day and see you next time again. Many Greetings from Germany ♥ Like 34
I loved hearing the story and seeing the photo of your first trip here. That trip has seemed to have had such a big impact on you and probably helped you develop a love of this place. I enjoyed hearing about this history of this lodging area. National parks need more of these affordable lodging options for families to stay in.
Thanks so much. I could not agree more about the affordability. They adopted a new federal regulation in late 2023 that allows the vendors to charge more for the rooms. I hope to find the time to make a video about that one of these days, but the effect is that it is pricing people of moderate means out of staying in the National Parks.
I love this video. It's very informative and good to know that there's something needs to be told like Maswik lodge at Grand Canyon. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video. Excellent work.
Thanks so much, it was frustrating to me that this place had no accessible history, so I did a lot of digging to get the sparse information I found. At least some of the history is out there now. Thanks for watching!
I can tell that you must have done a lot of homework for this great quality video. This video is probably one of your best videos so far. I am impressed. Good work, GC hiker. I am looking forward to seeing your next great video. Thank you for sharing.
The Grand Canyon Museum Collection, an office located in the Park, has lots of information available about all aspects of the history of the Canyon. That was my primary source, with some other bits and pieces collected on the internet. Thanks for watching!
I hope you have a great stay. Be sure to get an upstairs rooms, as the ones downstairs can get pretty loud. You can add that request by calling their toll-free number.
Very nice video! As an employee there for AmFac in 1978, I shared a small cabin at Motor Lodge with two other young guys. Examples of those employee cabins can be seen 28 seconds into your video. Very rustic, but perfect for a 90-day summer contract with AmFac.
Thank you for sharing that memory. It must have been a fun Summer! Do you recall how much of Maswik North was done at that time, and did they still have the old reception building? The dates are so hard to come by, and the knowledge of someone who was there would be helpful. Thanks for your comment.
@@GC-Hiker I think the north was completely open then, but I may be wrong. I worked on the South Rim for the summers of 1977, 78 and 79, earning money to return to college each fall semester. Incredibly fun times and great coworkers. I began as a Yavapai Lodge laundry worker in '77 and ended the last summer as a Bright Angel bellman. Great tips carrying luggage back then!
Also, I don't recall an old reception building at Motor Lodge. That may have been converted to the employee cafeteria by the time I began working there.
@@billarmstrong6540 Cool, thanks for those clarifications. The buildings I stay in are dated around 1979, so that is consistent. I don't know why the Park does not have an accurate history. Thanks for the information about the reception building, I will try to reasearch when the old building went away when I get the time. I appreciate your help with the timeline. Sounds like great place to have worked Summers.

Thanks so much for your kind words and for watching. It strikes me as a shame that the Lodge has a rich history, but it is mostly unknown.

We will be there staying there staying starting 8/16. Very informative video
I hope you have a great stay. Be sure to get an upstairs rooms, as the ones downstairs can get pretty loud. You can add that request by calling their toll-free number.
Your videos have helped us have a great visit so far. We are cyclists and are loving cycling and hiking.
@@karenleclerc3142 Thanks so much. The Greenway trails also provide some good cycling alternatives at Grand Canyon.
Thanks. You provided the more interesting missing facts. That is why the less elitism should unite and rise.
Workers unite! : )
