The El Tovar Stables at the south rim of the Grand Canyon were built about 1904, at the same time the nearby El Tovar Hotel was built, to house the animals used in general transportation around the park.

The interior contains two main spaces, with an open room in the east that was probably used for wagons.

The interior has an upper and lower level, disposed similarly to the horse barn, except the stalls are enclosed with open ends.

[2] The structures continue to be used to house and support the mule trains that take visitors and supplies to the Phantom Ranch at the bottom of the Grand Canyon.

[2] The barns and shop were listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 6, 1974.
