Title: Camp Beale Springs
Post by: marcusorelius on March 27, 2014, 04:50:27 PM

The other day we went to camp beale springs, It was established in 1871 and served as an Army Camp and for a time as an internment camp for the Hualapai Indians.

The Hualapai are the folks that built the skywalk on the west rim aren't they?

It's on their land, a Vegas business man ( died recently) put up the money. There's been endless problems between them. Even though it's only 60 miles from me I won't spend $ 75 to walk on it.

Saw it the first year it opened. I don't remember it being that much. It was awesome.
