Desert View Drive

Desert View Drive is a scenic road that runs along the rim of the Grand Canyon, offering stunning views of the canyon and the Colorado River. The drive is 23 miles long and takes you to the Desert View Services Area and the East Entrance of Grand Canyon National Park. Along the way, you can stop at several viewpoints, including Grandview Point, Moran Point, and Navajo Point, which offer panoramic views of the canyon. The area has been used as a gathering place for thousands of years, and visitors can see a glimpse of the ancient past at the Tusayan Ruin and Museum. The Desert View Watchtower, modeled after the architecture of the Ancestral Puebloan people, is another notable landmark. The area represents the physical and cultural gateway from Grand Canyon National Park to the Navajo and Hopi reservations
