A glance at Kolb
Studio today paints a picture of the men who built
it. Perched aggressively on the brink, the building
is anything but conventional. It was built without
a plan, its rooms added piecemeal over the years.
The building is a vivid reminder of the two pioneers
who ran the rapids, hiked the canyons, and photographed
it all.
Today, historic Kolb Studio
is open year-round. It contains an exhibit venue,
bookstore, and information center operated by
the Grand Canyon Association, a nonprofit organization.
Proceeds from sales at the bookstore go toward
the continuing restoration and care of the building.
Fully remodeled in 2004 for the Kolb Studio Centennial,
the bookstore now features a tribute to the Kolbs’
photography of mule riders at Grand Canyon. So
come in and share the same view the Kolb brothers
did, and experience Grand Canyon from this enduring
structure.
