Nankoweap Granaries, panoramic alcove view, Marble Canyon, Colorado River Mile 53, Grand Canyon NP, Arizona, USA.

Nankoweap Granaries, panoramic alcove view in Marble Canyon. Hike to the prehistoric Nankoweap Granaries (1 mile round trip with 700-foot gain) from Main Nankoweap Camp at Colorado River Mile 53.4. In 1960, archaeologist Douglas W. Schwartz found corncobs, a pumpkin shell, and pumpkin seeds inside the granaries, evidently harvested from Nankoweap Creek Delta by Ancestral Puebloans between AD 1050 and 1150. This image is from a rafting trip through Marble Canyon on Day 3 of 16 days boating 226 miles down the Colorado River in Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona, USA. Multiple overlapping photos were stitched to make this panorama.
