Bright Angel Lodge, Hermit’s Rest, Lookout Studio, Phantom Ranch, Desert View Watchtower, Colter Hall and Victor Hall, (the latter two being employee dormitories).

However, if you step inside, or see it from Bright Angel Trail on your hike out of the canyon, you get the sense it is much more than that. This is the Victorian home of the Kolb Brothers who created a lasting legacy of adventure, exploration, family love, and amazing Grand jaw dropping view!

Constructed in 1932, the Desert View Watchtower was designed by Mary Colter, who is often referred to as “The Architect of the Southwest.” Near the eastern edge of Grand Canyon National Park, where the Colorado River begins to turn north and the Painted Desert stretches toward the Navajo and Hopi Reservations, a 70-foot-tall circular stone structure perched on the South Rim draws visitors’ attention.

Amazing Grand Canyon & Antelope Canyon Tour with Mania Tour! I had an incredible experience with Mania Tour on their one-of-a-kind tour covering Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, Lake Powell Overlook, and Glen Canyon Dam, along with a secret star-gazing stop—all in a single trip! The journey started from Las Vegas at midnight and brought us back by 8 PM, making it the only tour that covers all these breathtaking locations in one day. Despite it being the off-season with only five people (instead of the usual 12), Mania Tour still went ahead with the trip, which shows their dedication to customer satisfaction—huge kudos to them! Our guides, Tim and Chungi, were fantastic throughout. Tim was an absolute sweetheart, capturing stunning pictures for everyone along the way, making sure we had the best memories to take home. Their knowledge, enthusiasm, and professionalism made the experience even more enjoyable. Mania tour is the perfect choice . Highly recommended !

Great! It was a long day but well worth it considering the distance to the Grand Canyon from Vegas. Pick was ta 5:25 am and landed back at hotel at 7:25 PM. Was at the Vegas sign by 6;30 am, heading to Hoover dam, stops for bathroom one hour later, 6 in Subway Sub included at 11am, landed in the park at 12:00 pm, van left at 2:30pm, stop for bathroom, stop at Route 66, and then home. Water, granola bars, cookies, crackers and some apple and bananas were provided. Route 66 was a waste, nothing really to see but a few old cars. Make sure to pack your snacks so you lbs got something to eat on the at home. You will stop at Loves periodically so you can stock up if needed. Really enjoyed the fact that I did not have to drive to Grand Canton and back. It’s obvious that your driver knows where to go and how to get back so let them do that for you!

My husband and I booked the Grand Canyon trip two days before our vacation ended. It was an excellent trip, our driver went above and beyond to accommodate my disability, was knowledgeable about not only the area we were driving through, but much of the rest of the state as well. Our only regret is that we had not booked the trip much earlier in our vacation, so we would have had an opportunity to check out some of the hidden treasures our guide mentioned. Money and time well spent!

The tour was amazing! Thanks to Tim and Chungi for the good vibes and attention. They were always willing to take lots of photos and tell you in detail about the places we visited. There was very good communication (English and Korean). A very complete tour. We went to Horseshoe, Antilope Canyon and saw the sunrise. I highly recommend it!
