Indian Memorial

Desert View Watchtower, Grand Canyon South Rim, Arizona 2021/6

Desert View Watchtower, also known as the Indian Watchtower at Desert View, is a 70-foot (21 m)-high stone building located on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. The watchtower was designed by Mary Colter to resemble prehistorical Native Indian culture and housing structure.

What I found most impressive are the rocks they used, which simply a gallery of pre-historical heads from the Canyon. If you look carefully from different angels, these rocks simply display a piles of rock heads with all kinds of vivid expressions. It's a master piece of artwork of sculpture from nature.

On the way back home, I visited the Native Indian House in Cotton Wood, a small town near by Verde Valley and Colorado River. I found the same rock structure piled with endless rock heads. It's simply amazing!
