In 2003 the Grand Canyon Pioneer Society and the National Park Ser- vice inducted Louise M. Hinchliffe into the Grand Canyon Hall of Fame for Community Service. The follow- ing narrative is from the time of that award.

“Louise Hinchliffe was a Grand Canyon institution for nearly forty years. Her duties over the years in- cluded interpretation, museum and visitor center support, Natural His- tory Association secretary, and she is primarily remembered as the librari- an. During this time she worked with acquisitions of nearly 5000 volumes and endured a couple of moves. Her real contribution to the com- munity came through her long and considerable knowledge of the Can- yon, the Village, and its people.

There was no running water except for that which could be brought up from the creek, some distance away. She conducted bird surveys while Vernon trapped small mammals for the Smithsonian Institution. Apparently the only other visitors to the cabin during their stay consisted of a pair of Cooper’s hawks nesting in the cottonwood trees nearby and, of course, the numerous feral burros, which lived in Pipe Creek Canyon. Little information is available on the cabin’s history between the visit by the Baileys and the 1970s. Many hikers and rangers must have visited the cabin during those times but few photographs and even fewer anecdotes survive. William Thompson visited the cabin in 1959 and photographed it.

Another cloud over Hance’s involvement is, that, in his 80th birthday letter to the Grand Can- yon community, Hance recited a list of individuals who, by themselves or in groups, found their way to him in the earliest days of Canyon tourism. These people were Supreme Court justices, territorial governors, high ranking Santa Fe Railway officials, future senators and accomplished oth- ers. Ayer was not among them.
