The Desert View & Watchtower are structures built by Mary Colter way back in 1932, which almost
seem to blend into the landscape. With its natural architecture, the tower blends in beautifully with the
backdrop and provides fantastic views of the River, The San Francisco Peaks and the Painted Desert.

Further across the Desert View point is Marble Canyon, part of the Vermillion Cliffs National

strokes of orange, vermillion, red and purple as the sun sets.
