A couple of days ago, I lamented the loss of a cross at the Powell Memorial. You can see the post HERE.
I assume the reason why the cross was removed is because they dedicated this plaque to John Wesley Powell, who was the first explorer for the United States to pass this point on the Colorado River.
As the plaque says, he not only passed it once, he returned 3 years later with a different group of explorers.
It sits on a huge pyramid made of Grand Canyon stone and it takes a bit to get up to the top to read it.
The photo we took was behind the pyramid.
