Description
The Civilian Conservation Corps constructed what had been the Spring Valley Ranger Station during the Great Depression. The structure is currently available for rent as the Spring Valley Cabin Bunkhouse.
“Crews from the Williams area CCC also joined with other crews to build a new 80-foot high fire tower and cabin at Grandview at the Grand Canyon, construct the Moqui Ranger Station (now Tusayan Ranger Station) and build the Spring Valley Ranger Station.”
