Finding America: The Desert View Watchtower

The Grand Canyon: The Desert View Watchtower

The Desert View Watchtower: https://www.nps.gov/grca/learn/photosmultimedia/mary-colter---indian-watchtower.htm

Before leaving the Grand Canyon, I stopped by Mary Colter’s Watchtower built in 1932. It is one of 8 buildings she created. All still in use today.

The first floor artwork was created by Hopi artist Fred Kabotie. The second and third floor art was created by Fred Harvey.
