Arizona - Grand Canyon: Powell Memorial - A stone memorial to the one-armed geologist who led the first documented expeditions down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon @ South Rim

            On August 30, 1869, Major John Wesley Powell and five companions brought their rowboats ashore at St. Thomas, Nevada. Having departed from Green River, Wyoming, with nine men three months earlier, Powell and his crew became the first white people confirmed to have traveled through the entirety of the Grand Canyon.
