Louis Boucher was a Canadian-born American prospector, miner, explorer, and guide in the Grand Canyon, Arizona in the late 19th to early 20th century.
[2] During his journey from the West to the Cariboo and Fraser areas of Canada, Boucher became familiar with the use of mules for transportation and gear-hauling.
After a failed stint of gold prospecting in Cariboo, Boucher turned his attention to the southwest, seeking silver.
At one point during his occupation near Dripping Springs, Boucher assisted in the search and attempted rescue of two lost men in the canyon.
In 1912, Louis Boucher left his home to seek work in a coal mine in Moreland, Utah, and never returned to his camp by Dripping Springs.
