El Tovar occupies a site without parallel in the world - 7,000 feet above the level of the sea on the rim of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River, and commanding a tremenduous, awe-inspiring view unequalled anywhere in the world. The roaring Colorado River in the canyon below on one side and on the other one hundred and eight miles of Fragrant pines of the Coconino Forest. The hotel is built of native boulders and pine logs from far-of Oregon. The architect has combined in admirable proportions the Swiss chalet and the Norway villa. |
