I'm the guy behind DownTheTrail.com. I love the outdoors, and the Grand Canyon is my favorite destination. Be sure to subscribe to my newsletter (at the bottom of the page), or else I'll slip a rock into your backpack when you're not looking.
The outhouse at this shelter used to have a very professional-looking sign on it, designating it the “Lt. Governor Jarvis Snodgrass Memorial Gazebo,” which was the subject of much mirth among me and my friends back in the 1970s.
I STAYED IN GOVERNOR CLEMENT SHELTER MANY YEARS AGO, MAYBE 1964-1965; IT WAS GOOD SEEING THOSE PHOTOS.
Thank you, I haven’t been to Clement Shelter In over 25 years. When I was younger it was one of my favorite places to go I spent an amazing amount of time there. I’ve stayed there in all seasons, and in all weather conditions. This was the perfect memory. Thank you again
