The limestone formation on your left, known as the Chinese Arch, has become a memorial to the thousands of Chinese who helped build the transcontinental railroad. Labor was scarce in California. The Central Pacific first employed Chinese experimentally in 1865. They proved themselves to be excellent workers and soon the company recruited directly from China. By 1868, over 11,000 Chinese laborers were employed on the railroad.

Here, on April 28, 1869, the Central Pacific established a record that has never been equaled. The Union Pacific once laid eight and one half (8.5) miles of track in a single day and boasted that their feat could not be matched. Charles Crocker, Central Pacific's construction superintendent, was determined to beat that record.

Lightning in the Forest

- Locations: Grand Canyon National Park
The monsoon at the Grand Canyon is one of nature's finest spectacles. Striking the rim about 25,000 times per year, lightning is so prevalent it has influenced the evolution of the local flora. The Ponderosa Pine has adapted a thick, plated bark to survive the annual fires caused by lighting. Their limbs grow high up the trunk to avoid fire catching their crowns. Spend a Minute Out In It seeing why this ranger placed the camera under a safe outpost and admired the storm from the safety of the indoors!

One of the most historic ways to arrive to the Grand Canyon is on the old spur line created by the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway. Since 1901, the train has carried passengers from Williams, AZ to the South Rim daily. Due to the rise of the automobile, passenger service ceased in 1968. In 1989, passenger service continued--ten years later, Grand Canyon Railway was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Spend a Minute Out In It exploring the history "underneath" this timeless trip!

From Split Rock Falls, the creek still has another 8 miles (12.8 km) to meander until its confluence with the mighty river. When it's hot out, hikers are encouraged to get in the creek to keep their temperatures down. Take a Minute Out In It to take a dip!

Grand Canyon has 1,737 known species of vascular plants, dozens of which are only found in the park's boundaries.
