The Grand Canyon is a huge steep-sided canyon carved by the Colorado River over millions of years exposing nearly two billion years of geologic history. The area has been continuously in habited by Native Americans who built settlements and many of whom consider the canyon a holy place. President Theodore Roosevelt visited in 1903 and later designated the Grand Canyon as a National Park. Despite opposition from land and mining claim holders, it was designated a National Park in 1919 under President Woodrow Wilson. Here is a view of the back of the hotel. I find it appealing that the hotel was designed with covered porches where guests could relax and enjoy the view. It reminds me of my childhood, especially my grandmother's house and my great-grandfather's house next door with huge screened-in porches where my extended family would tell jokes and play verbal games. I was old enough to enjoy their banter even if not old enough to participate.
