Grand Canyon National Park - Kolb Studio — Local services in Four Corners States

They did an excellent job of mixing the modern, with all the historic pieces. You first walk into a store front, selling mostly photos and books, but also has some of the shirts and trinkets you may find at other stores thought the park. Once you walk through the store a bit, you will start to notice history lessons here or there about the store. They also have a detailed insert sheet to take home free, at the register, that talks in more detail about the building and the two brothers who built it. When you start to wall toward the back, you have access into a room with a huge antique projector reel. It points into the museum and theater room, and has a collection of photos in the room. You can then follow the staircase into the museum theater room where you can find painting on display, at your second floor level, along with a placard that tells you the artists and medium used. These paintings are absolutely breathtaking. There were a few I had to prove where actually created by hand vs. A computer printed image. Following the stairs to the floor level, there is a detailed museum about the Kolb brothers. I recommend going to the back corner with the family tree first, just to understand who is who in some of the descriptions of items.

The story of these two men, was actually very entertaining. They were the first to record the experience of traveling the Colorado river, on moving picture, and it plays in the background as you walk through the displays. Over all, I had a...

The Kolb Studio is one of the historic landmark buildings which can be found on the edge of the South Rim in the Grand Canyon Village. This is where the locally famous Kolb brothers made their trade as photographers during the early 20th century.

This landmark was started in 1904 and expanded several times as Kolbs prospered and needed to expand their property. Today, you can visit the Kolb Studio and find a gift shop as well as a large exhibition room featuring artworks, artefacts and a bit of history about the brothers, their adventurous lives spent at the Grand Canyon.

We really enjoyed the present exhibition and would gladly return to view again during future trips to the Grand Canyon. This makes a nice place to visit for 20-30 minutes if you have interest in art and history.

Note: There are several other important historical landmarks nearby. You can combine your visit with the nearby Lookout Studio just a couple minutes further walk towards the Bright Angel Lodge, which is also worth stopping by...

La experiencia en el gran cañon fue increible, sin embargo, la empresa con quien compranos.... pesimo....quesaeon de pasar por nosotros (2) a las 5.55 am., pasaron 6.10, el camion venia mas de la mitad lleno con los q subimos, casi se lleno hasta 50. Nos llevaron a sus indtalaciones para segun explicarnos detalles del viaje, lo q yo considero q fue publicidad para ellos ya q t qyieren vender durante 20 min el paquete de fotos, el helicoptero, q t pases al tour mas caro, etc, asi q es importante q si estas seguro, te mantengas en lo q ya adquiriste. Despues t sacan a otra dala donde t dicen q esperaras 30 min mas por si gustas adquirir algo de SU tienda... te venden de todo y a esa hora, si ko desatunaste, practicamente les consumes a ellos. Finalmente a las 7.30 salimos h llegamos alrededor de las 9 a la presa en donde bajamos, tomamos foros desde un mirador en la partemas alta de la pista durante literal 5 min, y subes al autobis de nuevo. Media hora despues, hicimos otra parada en una tienda de conveniencia durante 30 min por si quisieras pañar al sanitario y por supuesto comprar mas. Salimos de alli 9.30 y llegamos a las afueras del gran cañon a la 1 de la tarde a un restaurante q es donde t dan el lunch q incluye el tour. Nos dieron 1 hora y 45 min para comer, por lo q a las 2.45 volvimos a salir en el autobus finalmente para bajar al gran cañon a las 3 en punto. Nos dieron exactamente 50 min para recorrer lo q puedas en ese tiempo q es nada, y a las 3.50 estabamos de nuevo en el autobus para ir al segundo tiempo, al q bajamos a las 4 y nos dieron exactamente una hora para partir de regreso. Es decir, 1 hora y 50 min es lo q dura en realidad la visita. A las 5 en punto salio el bus para regresar a las vegas. A las 9 de la noche hicimos la pri ee parada en la misma tienda de conveniencia q en la mañana, y nos dieron otra media hora PARA CENAR ALLI. Finalmente estabamos entrando a las vegas a la 10.15 hora en la q dejamos a los primeros turistas en el hotel new york, y tu piensas, bueno, como en media hora me tocara a mi, nosotros ibamos al mirage..... pues noooooo, grave error, debimos bajar alli y caminar o tomar el bus por nuestra cuenta ya q a las 11.15 seguiamos trepados en el autobus, verdaderamente molidos y apenas ibamos en el hotel balleys. Llegamos a nuestro hotel exactamente a las 11.50 pm. Nuestra experiencia duro casi 18 horas la hora y 50 min q tuvimos para tomarnos fotos de volada definitivamente, no lo volveria a hacer, u optaria por la opcion de la van donde van a lo mucho 12 personas. Nunca lo hagan en autobus. Es terrible y se...
