Description
The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) conducted extensive development work at Grand Canyon Village. At the same time, the lesser-known and short-lived Civil Works Administration (CWA) of winter 1933-34 developed a path at the village in early 1934.
A period photograph shows this as being a stone-lined path near Navajo Road. The information and photograph are consistent with the Grand Canyon Village Greenway.
