Desert View Watchtower: Opastetut kierrokset ja aktiviteetit

This is the Desert View Watchtower on the South rim of the Grand Canyon. The 70 foot tall tower is about 20 miles from Grand Canyon Village and a great stop when touring the south rim.
An early morning stop along the South Rim as we made our way towards Antelope Canyon.
Could’ve stayed here all day to watch the views change from the sun!
An unusual springtime snow storm creates cold clouds which rise from the valley floor along the Colorado river to the mesas above at Desert View viewpoint.

The Desert View Watchtower was designed by architect Mary Colter and mimics the style of Ancestral Puebloan towers. There are 85 steps you can climb inside the tower to take in the view from 70 feet above the observation area. Below, you’ll see the Colorado River at the bottom of the canyon and sweeping views to the east and west. There are large parking lots, a gift shop, a cafe and restrooms located around the immediate area. The overlook is accessible but not the structure itself.
