Summary

[edit]
Description

Along Highway 64, the Desert View/ East Entrance Sign welcomes visitors to Grand Canyon National Park. Then, they are met by a set of drive-through entrance booths clad with arcing stone walls, recalling the construction of the Desert View Watchtower, in a modern interpretation that incorporates exposed steel columns and beams. NPS Photo by Michael Quinn.

For visitors coming into the park via the East Entrance, a stop at Desert View provides the first views of Grand Canyon. Attractions feature some of the finest views of the Colorado River and canyon geology, the Watchtower, and the nearby Tusayan Museum highlighting the story of Native Americans at the canyon. Facilities include a visitor center and bookstore, rest rooms, seasonal campground, service station, gift shop, and general store. Perched on the rim of the canyon, the Watchtower reflects the architecture of the ancestral Puebloans in the Four Corners region. Climb the stairs for views up and down the canyon.
