| Description |
Join us to celebrate the 82nd anniversary of the Desert View Watchtower dedication ceremony on Wednesday, May 13th. To celebrate, visitors can chat with an interpretive ranger about the legacy of Mary Colter's Watchtower from 10am-2pm, and at 3pm there will be a special presentation and musical performance by Ed Kabotie, the grandson of Fred Kabotie who painted murals inside the building in 1932. The Watchtower is located at Desert View, the eastern-most developed area on the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park. Recognized as a National Historic Landmark, the tower was constructed in 1932. Architect Mary Elizabeth Jane Colter’s design takes its influences from the architecture of the ancestral Puebloan people of the Colorado Plateau. She collaborated on the design with Native American artisans of the time, including well-known Hopi artist Fred Kabotie whose murals adorn much of the second level of the tower.

Today, the 70-foot tower contains a Grand Canyon Association store and its upper floors serve as observation decks where visitors from around the world enjoy magnificent views of the canyon and the Painted Desert.
