As always, I learned so much by watching this. I really liked the old photo showing the construction of the tower. Looks like that was a scary job to build.
I remember when I went to the tower for the first time, there were so many people crowded in the tower climbing the strais, so I decided not to climb up there. We haven't been to Hermits Rest. I enjoyed hearing the history of the bookends. 😊
Thanks for watching. I have always enjoyed the tower, I guess because I first stopped by as a pre-teen, but in truth, I just drive on by nowadays, it is too crowded, and the thrill wore off years ago. Hermit's rest, in truth, to me is not worth the effort, so, from my perspective, you are not missing much!
Quite the amazing sight! I had heard on the news that there was a flood where hikers had to actually be rescued. Hope all turned out for the best. Great history that many just dismiss and really miss out on some fantastic information! Thanks for sharing all you many tidbits!!
The flood was quite a bit to the West on the Havasupai Reservation, an area popular with hikers. Unfortunately, one woman died. Thanks so much for watching!
A very interesting topic & love the research of photos you’ve shared. I can’t imagine they actually thought of destroying the historical building. The photo of infrastructure was great.
This is truly interesting story about architectural bookends of the park and, as always, you gave us lot of interesting information accompanied by old photos and amazing views of the canyon. I’ve learned a lot and yes, Desert View Watchtower looks quite similar to Burana tower in Kyrgyzstan.
Thanks for stopping by and watching. I thought the towers were suprisingly similar, and I hope viewers will stop by to see your great videos: ruclips.net/video/qzcZ2GR9d54/видео.html
@@GC-Hiker Thank you so much for sharing my video link in your comment! I really appreciate your support and am glad you found the content valuable. Your encouragement means a lot.
Yes, Colter was not an architect. After staying in the quad cabins at Bright Angel, where the slamming door is hinged at the head of the bed on the next cabin, that is obvious. My guess is that she became a bit of a hero and a myth because of her work as a desinger in a field mostly dominated by men. All of her buildings were signed-off by the licensed architects of the railway or Fred Harvey Company. Some of the stories about her are fun, but in truth, I find some of her design work wears a bit thin with exposure. What are your thoughts on the subject?

Thanks for watching! I have always been impressed by the steel infrastructure beneath the stone facade. A very modern building with an ancient look!

@@vedrana0127 Happy to share your quality content. The more we small channels can do to help one another, the better, from my perspective!
Nice video! It would be good to get your thoughts on how Mary Colter mightve not been an architect like many people think.
? Now I’m gonna have to research her. Any book you’ve read on this?
Yes, Colter was not an architect. After staying in the quad cabins at Bright Angel, where the slamming door is hinged at the head of the bed on the next cabin, that is obvious.
