The Grandview Breccia Pip is located within the Grand Canyon about midway from the south rim to the river on the Grandview Trail. Known as the Granview Mine, the pipe was mined for copper from about 1890 to 1916. High grade copper ore was transported to the rim by burros on the Grandview Trail. The pipe also contains uranium and zinc, and small amounts of lead and cobalt. |
