Grand Canyon National Park

The Grand Canyon National Park Service has made a commitment to enhance the experience of visitors beyond views of the canyon itself. The built landscape at the North and South Rims include buildings and lookout points within the bounds of the Grand Canyon Village Historic District. Many of these buildings were designed by notable American architects, including the Desert View Watchtower and Lookout Studio, both designed by Mary Jane Colter in 1914; and the North Rim Cabins, designed by Gilbert Stanley Underwood in 1928.
