The govt made it illegal to hike in this part of the Grand Canyon. They also made it illegal to fly a drone there. It's also a No-Fly Zone. Pretty strange stuff.
But it's also believed to be the location of a place known as Kincaids Cave. It's in that east canyon just south of the Kwagunt rapids. As the story goes, it is the location of the entrance to a huge underground citadel of chambers and rooms where Egyptian relics and hieroglyphics were discovered in 1909. The Smithsonian sent a crew to investigate. Soon after, three main excavation people went missing, and the Smithsonian pulled out and denied the whole thing along with the claims they had taken the relics and seen to it the area was turned into a no-go zone.
As you may know, the Smithsonian has a long history of this kind of historical cover up. I heard a later story that another group found another entry to the underground chambers in the area, but once down a shaft found the way had been filled with concrete with miscellaneous bits of modern equipment left behind.
People need to get in there and uncover the truth. It's a huge mystery to be solved.
