The Berry Ranch, once a working ranch and homestead.
Remnants of this homestead can still be found today.

One of the canyons most successful prospectors, Peter Berry founded the Last Chance copper mine on Horseshoe Mesa. The proceeds from the mine allowed him to build one of the first hotels at the Grand Canyon, the Grandview Hotel. It was the finest lodging at the Canyon until 1907, when the Santa Fe Railroad began construction on other lodging around the village area.

Peter Berry lived at the ranch with his family, wife Martha and three children, until the late 1930's. They were self-sufficient, even devising a water-collection system off the metal roof of their home. By stage coach, they were approximately 12 hours from Flagstaff, Arizona. After the Berry family left their homestead, their ranch was unfortunately vandalized. Little remains of the original buildings and their home.
