In 1911; a one-track suspension bridge was constructed over the gorge of the Little Colorado River; bypassing a treacherous river crossing and opening travel to northern Arizona. Five years later; Hubert Richardson built a tin-roofed shack on the river�s rim and opened his trading post for business. In the first years; almost all of his customers were Navajo; but with the new bridge travelers soon found the area; and it became the access point for the Grand Canyon; Glen Canyon; and the Four Corners area. A century later; Cameron Trading Post is a thriving epicenter still serving Navajo people; tourists; and an impressive list of the famous and fascinating; including authors; scientists; and movie stars. Boasting a curio store; gas station; motel; RV park; grocery store; and art gallery; Cameron is visited by guests from all over the world. It is a crossroads and a destination for visitors to this historic trading post.
