In the southwest, Fred Harvey hired architect Mary Colter to design influential landmark hotels in Santa Fe, and Gallup, New Mexico, Winslow, Arizona, and at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.  Today only three remain in operation:  Grand Canyon, Winslow and Santa Fe hotels. In September 2021, we explored the Grand Canyon Railroad and the El Tovar Hotel at the Grand Canyon. In September 2022, we explored La Posada Hotel in Winslow.  Join us this September on a PCA SAR tour to visit the last Harvey Hotel, La Fonda, in Santa Fe, NM.
