Description: Caption: "Williams Canion [sic] - Cave of the Winds," c. 1923. View of a rugged canyon with a small building perched on one wall featuring a sign reading "CAVE." In 1880, two brothers, George and John Pickett, discovered the entrance to a large cave system in Williams Canyon. Further exploration resulted in opening more caverns within the system. The site became a tourist attraction called "Cave of the Winds," with guided tours having been on offer since 1881.
