Grand Canyon Art

The introductory paragraph goes here.

The adobe or brick tower located on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon is known as the Desert View Watchtower. Its a 70-foot-high stone building that was designed by architect Mary Colter and constructed in 1932. The Watchtower is recognized as a National Historic Landmark and was inspired by the architecture of the ancestral Puebloan people of the Colorado Plateau, particularly the towers found at Hovenweep and the Round Tower of Mesa Verde. Its a prominent feature on the South Rim, offering spectacular views of the Grand Canyon and the surrounding area.

The view of the North Rim from the South Rim is 25 miles away. Normally the horizon is only 14 miles from the viewer, but North Rim rises about 1700 feet higher in elevation than South Rim.

And of course, since I've rafted Grand Canyon no fewer than four times, that had to be immortalized!
