Grand Canyon Watchtower at Desert View Interior

            The Watchtower at Desert View is located at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona, USA. The Tower was designed by architect Mary Colter incorporating Pueblo and Hopi Native American design themes.  Hopi artist Fred Kabotie created the interior murals.

Built in 1932-33, the tower is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is part of the M.E.J. Colter Buildings National Historic Landmark and the Desert View Watchtower Historic District.

These are photos from a 2012 road trip that I recently re-edited.  With the exception of the interior shot, the photos have not previously been posted.  

Thank you for taking a look.
