Sunset at Grand Canyon Desert View Point and Watchtower (15088531916)

About

Recorded on Wednesday, August 27, 2014.

The Desert View Watchtower, one of the most prominent architectural features on the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park, underwent major renovations during 2010. The 70-foot tower contains a gift 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. Stairs open 8:00 a.m. 30 minutes before sunset. (summer hours)

Recognized as a National Historic Landmark, the tower was constructed in 1932. Architect Mary Colter's design takes its influences from the architecture of the ancestral Puebloan people of the Colorado Plateau.

Human-made No record of this work says a model made it. What this means.
