Centennial for Grand Canyon's Most Recognizable Historic Structures

The El Tovar Hotel and Hopi House are enjoying their centennial celebration this year (http://www.grandcanyon-southrim.com/print/21.htm). Both were built in 1905 by the Santa Fe railroad which opened rail service to Grand Canyon Village in 1901. With their vision, architects Charles Whittlesley (El Tovar) and Mary Jane Colter (Hopi House) are largely responsible for the "look" of the historic Village District on the South rim. Be sure to visit these magnificent structures during your next visit!
