Designed by celebrated Southwestern architect Mary Elizabeth Jane Colter and completed in 1932\, the stone tower was inspired by the ancestral Puebloan architecture of the Colorado Plateau. \nFrom Desert View Point\, the landscape opens toward the Painted Desert\, with sweeping views of the canyon and Colorado River. We’ll have time to admire the Watchtower’s remarkable architecture\, enjoy the ground-floor View Room\, and take in the surrounding panoramic overlooks. \nAfter leaving Grand Canyon National Park\, we’ll continue to the historic Cameron Trading Post for lunch on self.
