How convenient it was to cross the street to drown one’s court-related sorrows. In the late 1880s, saloons on Montezuma Street across from Yavapai County Courthouse were so plentiful that the district was nicknamed Whiskey Row. Today, the street is lined with galleries, shops and cafés, and Courthouse Plaza plays host to seasonal festivals and art fairs on days when court’s adjourned. Montezuma and Gurley streets, Prescott
Sedona’s Red Rocks
There’s a lot to discover in the ruddy, rocky, iron-rich landscape of Sedona. Some folks see the dusty red roads and can’t resist four-wheeling or hiking on them. Others have heard about the city’s four vortexes—areas with high electromagnetic energy and a reputation for spiritual, meditative powers—and seek them out. And yet others marvel at the general panorama from the comfort of a patio or balcony, noticing silhouettes that locals have long referred to as Cathedral, Bell and Coffee Pot rocks. NA 8

A LUNAR LEGACY Channel your inner astronaut in Flagstaff BY STACEY WITTIG
COURTESY THE ASTROGEOLOGY SCIENCE CENTER, USGS
Commemorate the 50th anniversary of Neil A. Armstrong’s first step on the moon by taking your own small step onto the lunar-like landscapes where he trained. Because natural features around Flagstaff replicated what astronauts could expect to find on the surface of the moon, all 12 Apollo astronauts who set foot on the moon performed rigorous field exercises there. Retrace their footsteps at the following Northern Arizona locations and world-class scientific attractions.
Today, make physical connections with the Apollo 15, 16 and 17 crewmembers who walked on the moon by checking over the moon rover simulator at the USGS Astrogeology Science Center at 2255 N. Gemini Road, Building 6. The geologic rover, nicknamed Grover (it carted these astronauts over the nearby Cinder Crater Field Testing Site), is located in the lobby of the Shoemaker Building, along with displays of rare artifacts including hand imprints of Neil Armstrong and Frank Borman. Sign-in for the self-guided tour, which is open to the public during business hours.
Opposite page: On a guided hike of Sunset Crater Volcano, National Monument visitors can explore the area where the first space suits were tested.
USGS MOON ROVER SIMULATOR From 1963, the U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) Branch of Astrogeology in Flagstaff analyzed lunar terrain for the feasibility of proposed landing sites, led geology classroom and field training for the astronauts, and developed tools that would help moonwalkers complete their geologic objectives. USGS Moon Rover was one of the tools used on the last three Apollo missions. As the push for rock specimens and other scientific operations increased, the rover was developed to increase mobility on the lunar surface.
CINDER LAKE CRATER FIELD ASTRONAUT TRAINING GROUND USGS scientists simulated lunar landscapes by taking flat cinder fields and blasting them to create craters in patterns like those on the moon. Photos of portions of the moon’s Sea of Tranquility were the templates for positioning 143 craters. Human-made crater fields were perfect for training the men and testing the equipment, including moon rover simulators. Follow in the footprints of Apollo 12 astronauts—the first to train at Cinder Lake Crater Fields— and the subseWHERE GUEST B OOK

quent Apollo pilots. Take Highway 89 approximately two miles north of Flagstaff Mall to Cinder Lake Landfill Road. Turn right and go 1.9 miles to a two-wheeled dirt track just before the entrance of the landfill. Go right and drive about one mile to a man gate and sign. With Google maps set to satellite view, you’ll be able to detect the craters with your smartphone. Tread lightly on the crater field to respect the historic area.
Flagstaff ’s clear skies created optimal observing conditions for mapping the moon’s surface, and consequently, Lowell Observatory was chosen as the home of the government’s lunar mapping program. From 1961 to 1968, a team of scientists and scientific illustrators used the historic Clark Telescope to observe the moon, and create maps and charts in support of NASA’s manned space program. At “Lowell’s Lunar Legacy Exhibit” in the Lowell Observatory Collections Library, you’ll find original moon maps with sun shadows based on where astronauts would land. Memorabilia displayed includes guestbook signatures of Neil Armstrong and others who dined at the home of John Hall, Lowell Observatory Director on Jan. 16, 1963. Lowell astronomers and scientists also contributed to the moon mission by helping to train astronauts. Tread in the footsteps of the skywalkers when you tour Clark Telescope on the Lowell campus to look through the 24-inch refractor. Astronauts beheld the moon through the same scope in preparation for geology training at Sunset Crater and Meteor Crater.
METEOR CRATER To orientate position after the moon landing, astronauts needed to identify surface features viewed through the lunar module’s small windows. At Meteor Crater, astronauts learned to distinguish geologic features of the milewide crater and correlate them to corresponding maps. NA 1 4

USGS Astrogeologist Gene Shoemaker, who led the field exercises, pointed out features caused by impact cratering so that once on the moon, astronauts could easily recognize them. Walk in the steps of these brave men during the Guided Rim Tour and snap selfies at the Apollo Test Capsule used in flotation testing. The scientific attraction, which includes a theater and museum, is less than one hour east of Flagstaff.
SUNSET CRATER VOLCANO NATIONAL MONUMENT The jagged crags of the Bonito Lava Flow at Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument provided suitable terrain for moonwalk training and gear testing. Take the paved Bonito Vista Trail to overlook lava gullies, where you’ll likely imagine yourself on the moon. For more rugged hiking, follow Lava’s Edge Trail (3.4 miles roundtrip) to experience the lava flow on which USGS scientists and astronauts tested space suits, instrumentation and communication equipment. Guided walks to Sunset Crater Apollo mission training sites are planned on designated dates.

COLTER’S CANYON A nature lover observes Mary Elizabeth Jane Colter’s six remaining buildings at the Grand Canyon, and digs deeper on a few favorites. BY JESSICA RUNBERG
Desert View Watchtower

W H E R E G U E ST B O O K
I’ve spent nearly a month of starry nights sleeping below the Grand Canyon’s rim—lacing up my hiking boots and descending into the depths without giving much thought to the infrastructure that supports the national park’s five million annual visitors. However, some of the rustic stone buildings that dot the rim—the same buildings that try to blend in and not make a fuss—have a unique story to tell. And that story is of early-20th-century American architect and designer Mary Elizabeth Jane Colter. During a time when European styles were in vogue, Colter dared to bring Southwest and tribal influences to the architecture scene. “The buildings she did here are masterpieces of rustic architecture,” says Pete Peterson, a Grand Canyon National Park ranger. Colter, whose grand obsession at the Grand Canyon was the land and the natives who inhabited it, incorporated Mother Nature into every aspect of design. You might recognize the style today as “National Park Service rustic,” but at the time there was nothing like it. It’s just one of the myriad ways Colter was ahead of her time. Beyond the architecture, what makes the legendary Colter so intriguing is that she was a female architect in a male-dominated profession. “She broke gender barriers while working with the Fred Harvey Company and Santa Fe Railroad,” Peterson says. Colter began as an interior designer, studying at the California School of Design in San Francisco. In 1902, the Fred Harvey Company—developer of the popular Harvey House chain of hotels, restaurants and gift shops— hired her to decorate the Indian Building at Albuquerque’s Alvarado Hotel. But it wasn’t until she came to the Grand Canyon in 1910 to decorate the park’s signature hotel, El Tovar, that she earned a full-time position with the company, the title of chief architect and decorator, and most importantly, artistic freedom. Colter designed 21 projects for the Fred Harvey Company throughout four decades, but many have dwindled as rail travel has. Grand Canyon National Park, however, is home to six Colter buildings that continue to impress visitors: Hopi House (1905), Lookout Studio (1914), Hermit’s Rest (1914), Phantom Ranch (1922), Desert View Watchtower (1932) and Bright Angel Lodge (1935). Most are National Historic Landmarks, and Phantom Ranch and Bright Angel Lodge are members of the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Historic Hotels of America. WHERE GUEST B OOK

My personal favorite is Hermit’s Rest, not only because it’s the launching spot for one of the most scenic descents into the Canyon, but because the crooked-looking cobblestone structure looks like it’s been there since the dawn of time. And while it’s now 100 years old, Colter designed Hermit’s Rest to appear aged and lived-in on Day One. Colter believed in the “marketing” of a project, and to her that meant having a story behind a building. Every nook and cranny was designed to look as though the “hermit” who built and inhabited the stone dwelling had just stepped out to forage for supper. The story she concocted is so elaborate that many consider Hermit’s Rest to be her most “Mary Colteresque” dwelling. “The use of native stone makes Hermit’s Rest blend seamlessly into the edge of the rim,” Peterson notes. A designer at heart, Colter even went so far as to smudge soot and strategically place cobwebs on the newly constructed fireplace—apparently garnering laughs from her employers. But the hearth is no laughing matter. Built under a massive stone arch and awe-inspiring vaulted ceiling, it’s a showstopper. “Some people pick on Mary Colter for being a stickler for detail, but it’s probably why we remember her today,” says Grand Canyon historical architect Elizabeth Pidgeon. The signature fireplace is one of the finest places on the rim to experience the same type of solitude and serenity that hikers like me seek when descending into the abyss itself.
PHANTOM RANCH Despite the mile-deep descent and summer temperatures that can reach 120 F, Phantom Ranch is a perennial favorite among canyongoers. Nestled at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, it’s the only place you can sleep with a roof over your head below the rim. Those who make the journey by mule, foot or raft via the Colorado River are rewarded with rest and relaxation in a rustic village beneath a lush canopy of cottonwood trees. NA2 2

HERMIT’S REST
The ranch includes a quaint gathering hall and a cluster of simple green-roofed cabins, and like most Colter buildings, was built using native stone. “Unlike her other buildings, Phantom Ranch doesn’t have an elaborate backstory,” she adds. “It’s all about the sense of place and the journey.” Although it was supposed to be named Roosevelt’s Chalets in honor of President Theodore Roosevelt for helping the Grand Canyon achieve national park status in 1919, Colter insisted it be called Phantom Ranch. I’m glad that the architect’s preference prevailed; I can’t imagine Phantom Ranch having the same sense of “ah” to weary travelers without its mystical moniker.
©GRAND CANYON NPS
DESERT VIEW WATCHTOWER While most of Colter’s canyon architecture is designed to fade into the landscape, Desert View Watchtower imposes itself upon the rim. “At the time it was a very controversial building, being three stories tall and all,” ranger Peterson says, “but today it’s considered a masterpiece.” Designed to resemble a Pueblo watchtower and provide
the widest possible views of the canyon and desert beyond, the circular stone tower is an engineering wonder with a hidden steel framework made by the bridge department at the Santa Fe Railroad. “It grows out of the ground and becomes one with its environment,” Pidgeon says. Inside, murals painted by internationally acclaimed artist Fred Kabotie tell the story of Hopi creationism. “This isn’t the type of interior you hang pictures on,” she explains, “it’s like a sculpture you can walk through.” Leaving a pile of rubble west of the tower, Colter gave Desert View its own backstory: the impression that it was the last remaining structure from an ancient community. The view is spectacular, but what impresses me isn’t what can be seen from it, but the vantages from which the tower itself can be seen. Over backpackers throughout the eastern section of the park, the tower keeps watch—in view through every twist and turn of the trail. I like to think it’s symbolic of all the great explorers of the past keeping a watchful eye as today’s intrepid travelers set out on their own canyon adventures. It transcends generations—much like Mary Colter.
