Every time I drive up Canyon Road I wonder what it took to carve a road out of side of a rock wall. And how hard would that be back in 1920 when the road was built?
It took a lot of strong men, hard work, what would today be considered extremely primitive machinery — and explosives.
Here are shots (courtesy of Pat Van Eaton) of the making of Canyon Road.
