National park philosophy

National Park Philosophy-As viewed by Steven Tyng Mather
Mather felt that the scenery should be the first criterion in establishing a park. He introduced park concessions to the national parks, allowing vending of basic amenities and necessities to park visitors, including nature study aids. Mather encouraged cooperation with the rails in order to encourage visitation to normally remote units of the National Park System, and thereby create a base of public support for the fledgling agency and its holdings with those who had seen them and gained a personal appreciation for them.

Fine Dining on the South Rim at the El Tovar

 

The exsquisite dining at the El Tovar is a pure treat when visiting.The service was professional and upscale and the dishes we ate off of looked almost too expensive to get dirty.I recommend the seafood...or for more vegetarion tastes...the spring salad.

This side of El Tovar is visible from the Grand Canyon Station,which sits on a lower set of roads,creating a steep incline back up to the hotel.
