This stone hut was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the Great Depression. Not only is it an incredible piece of history, but its large window provides absolutely unparalleled views of the city

Stick around until sunset for a front row seat to the spellbinding show. Fire erupts across the desert landscape, flames dancing above the mountaintops and leaving you in pure awe of Mother Nature.
