Found this picture while searching pictures of the Grand Canyon

[gemee]

Ok,....how on earth would anyone be able to reach these spots

[chkn]

Don't you dare try and get in there, people get killed in that place all the time doing stuff like that. You should read that book "Death in the Grand Canyon" if you haven't already.

Repelling down the walls, but like chkn said people die all the time trying that. The only way you can get into the canyon is with an expedition paid for by the federal government............

The canyon trails are open to anyone wanting to hike...no entrance fee...

Also open for horseback riders...private concession

The National Park Service charges an entrance fee.

I believe it is $20 for the well-known parks like Grand Canyon and Yosemite.

I went there a lot when I worked in the La sal mountains in Utah . And I can tell you that there are whole areas that are closed off by the parks that you cannot go into. You can not even get a permit to go in. We tried.
We found places that you could see carving in the stone walls and what looked like stairs . Took photos with a long lens and showed the Park office, we were told not to go into the area or we would be picked up on the spot.
I know that most do not hear of this or that they have these places . But they do and if you go you will find out.

We could not get anyone to answer why it was restricted , our company's Law firm was asked to find out and they could not
find out either.
Are there areas were you can go in, yes . A lot of them. But when you start trying to go in to some of the North wall areas or some of the off shoot canyons you can not. If you go to the park check in to the main office and they will tell you and give you a map that is marked where you can go and not go.

Strange I know and to this day I would like to have an answer as to why those places are closed to the public.

I took this picture several years ago during a low snowfall year of Mt. Sill,
located near the Palisade Glacier in California's Sierra Nevada mountain range.



Recently there was a lot of publicity about the "Iceman", the body of a 1942
Army Air Force crewman which was found near Mt. Mendel, not far from Mt. Sill.

The Mt. Sill picture shows a large round object which could be some kind of aircraft,
buried in the glacial ice for many years.

But who or what flies round aircraft?

I know not to hike there in the winter in cowboy boots! Took a long slide to the edge of a switch back trail once. Scary stuff, I was young and stupid.

Just lookigs at some of the pictures could they be Gov't munition stashes or worse old 70s silos. In the mil I have been to some. As they are dangerous because of the age.

[riverrunner814]

That other round in the MTN looks like a hatch for silo They were concealded well. In those days they concealed them well. Just my opinion Again

Wow that was a great story, and one wonders what might be in that cave system. Also if you look at some of the local land features you can tell that it looks like there is more rock dumpings around certain places than others. 1930 huh what is it that they say if you are looking into something the Government has deamed classified it will be 75 years before you came have it opened.

As the WW1 infantry men use to say about the WW1 fighter pilots,"its a long way down and you only fall once....

[allen]
