Desert View - Grand Canyon East Rim - Coin-Op Binoculars on Waymarking.com

The Desert View Tower marks the easternmost end of Grand Canyon National Park. It has a huge parking lot and nearby are a book store, a souvenir store a cafeteria and restrooms. In the summer it can get pretty crowded here, so if you really want to enjoy the tower and its art work, come in the winter.

Enjoy the View

The uppermost observation area has a complete floor area covering the circular plan, and large plate-glass windows overlooking the surrounding expanses of the vast southwest. Downside in the winter: the weather is unpredictable. In the morning, hiking the western part, we had a clear view over the canyon, but once we made it to Desert View, there wasn’t much of a view left. Hopefully, the next visitors of the waymark can submit better pictures of the truly amazing view. Click on the picture for larger image
