Visit the Indian Watchtower
This a 70 foot-tall circular tower designed by Mary Elizabeth Jane Colter, and which has been up since 1932. This is a trademark of the park, you can’t miss it!
Spend at night at “El Tovar”
From the 6 hotels that there are throughout the park, “El Tovar” hotel is the one that totally needs your attention. The views you can get out and inside your room are breathtaking. Teddy Roosevelt as well as Albert Einstein were guests there. Cool, right?
