Verkamp's

near El Tovar Hotel, Grand Canyon National Park, AZ 86023 888-817-0806

Description: SOUTH RIM. This expansive enterprise, whose current building is distinguished by arched portals, originated from a tent in the late 19th century. Although that attempt wasn't ultimately lucrative, a second endeavor took off, and today, the family-owned business is a certified success. Inside the store, a wealth of souvenirs and handicrafts is available, including rugs, pottery, jewelry, basketry, kachinas, and various types of artwork. Hanging from the rafters, laid out in display cases and racks, or simply positioned to catch the eye, the inventory is large, providing all sorts of opportunity for souvenir-buying and memento-collecting.
