This lighthouse replaced the original, which was destroyed in same earthquake George Lawrence documented in his pioneering KAP efforts; The San Francisco 1906 Earthquake.
This light has stood since 1908.
Unlike some lighthouses, this one looks better every time I visit. The docents, benefactors, and volunteers here are serious about their restoration and upkeep.

Bryce Canyon National Park Farview Point is appropriately named, with spectacular views of famous landmarks that make up the Grand Staircase. From north to south you can see: the Aquarius Plateau (Pink Cliffs), the Kaiparowits Plateau (Grey Cliffs), Molly's Nipple (White Cliffs), and even glimpses of the Kaibab Plateau on which lies the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. These magnificent views result from Bryce Canyon's extremely high air quality, with potential visibility as far away as the Black Mesas in Arizona — up to 160 miles! Navajo Mountain, 90 miles away on the border of Utah and Arizona, can be seen on all but the worst days. While many visitors are awed by the beautiful things they see here, it is what they don't see (the haze and smog produced by particulates in the air) that is one of Bryce Canyon's most valued assets.
