A Mystery in the Canyon

Picture
In addition to its history and profound natural beauty, we have found a genuine curiosity. In fact, some will say -- a mystery.  Bill is gone from the Canyon and from this life -- 
but a part of him seems to linger still.
While thousands will visit the Canyon, only those who stand in a certain spot, upon a certain day, and at a certain hour -- will glimpse the ghostly presence of Negro Bill 's visage -- standing watch over his beloved Canyon.


The fact is, if you study the Canyon wall -- at just the right spot and at just the right angle -- the jagged sandstone wall forms what appears to be the profile of a man.  The rock resembles the features of a face -- perhaps the very face of Bill Granstaff himself.  This signature outcropping will only reveal the face from a specific angle of approach.  You may pass it a thousand times -- but never see Bill!

We like to say, "I hiked the Canyon of Negro Bill -- and find he watches his Canyon Still."


Thanks for visiting our website.
