Stephen Mather Memorial Plaque

Highlight • Monument

Stephen Mather was the first director of the National Park Service. He used his wealth and political connections to give major impetus to the idea of the national park.

After Mather's death, the Park Service erected bronze plaques in every park that read, "There will never be an end to the good he has done." "There will never come an end to the good that he has done."

Yavapai Point and Geology Museum

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view doesn’t get much better than that from the plate-glass windows of this small stone building, but weather permitting, be sure to take in the canyon’s splendor from the lookout just outside. There, you can hear, smell, and feel the canyon rather than just see it. Helpful panels in the museum explain the various formations unfolding before you, and displays (including a scale model) illuminate the canyon’s layered geologic history.
