64. One proposal for the Rim Campground that never came to fruition was suggested by the park Superintendent and Naturalist. In 1934, these individuals suggested that an open-air campfire be incorporated into the design of the campground development work. They believed that tourists should have the opportunity to, in their words, “witness” an outdoor program. The site they recommended had sloping ground, was surrounded by trees, and was well-protected from prevailing winds; in effect, it was a natural amphitheater. Although a drawing was going to be prepared by Francis Lange for submittal to the Western Field Office in San Francisco, the park staff’s open-air campfire was never realized.
