11Desert View Point
The aptly named Desert View Point is found on Desert View Road. It’s said to be the most popular viewpoint along this road too. If you are driving from the East Entrance, this is the first stop.
Desert View Point is popular with travelers for a couple of reasons. It’s the first place you can stop and see the stunning Grand Canyon, plus you can also check out the Colorado River and the Desert View Watchtower. This tourist attraction is an interesting tower that was designed by American architect Mary Colter.
It was designed and built in 1932. Made from stone, it is similar in style to the ancient Pueblo towers. You must climb a flight of 85 steps in order to reach the observation deck.
There you’ll be rewarded with 360-degree views. This olden tower stands almost 70 feet high and can get crowded. You will also find a campground, a gas station, a restaurant, and even a shop here too.
