For countless generations, Pipe Spring has provided water to people in the desert--Ancestral Puebloans, the Kaibab Band of Paiute Indians, Spanish Missionaries, Mexican traders, United States explorers and ethnographers, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and the National Park Service. The impact of natural and man-made forces has changed the landscape dramatically. These historic images, compared to recent photos, will reveal the story.
