The walls inside Desert View Watchtower provide a pallet for murals by Fred Kabotie. The 70 foot high stone tower designed by American architect Mary Colter was constructed in 1932 replicating a prehistoric Indian tower. This National Historic Landmark is located on the East Rim of Grand Canyon National Park.
This old juniper gripping the edge of the North Rim at Walhalla overlook has surely seen clouds hanging in Grand Canyon before. Have you?
On this last day of 2013 I reflect and feel grateful that I get to work and play at Grand Canyon for half the year. Of course I don’t get this Toroweap view every day but it’s only a few hours away.
