The Desert View Watchtower is a notable architectural feature located on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon in Arizona, USA. Designed by architect Mary Colter and completed in 1932, the watchtower is a 70-foot-high stone structure that provides panoramic views of the canyon and the surrounding desert landscape. Inspired by ancient Native American watchtowers, the building incorporates elements of Puebloan architecture and is decorated with murals by Hopi artist Fred Kabotie.
