When nature gets artistic
Desert View Point is a prominent overlook located on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. It offers breathtaking panoramic views of the canyon, including the Colorado River winding through the landscape.
The river flowing through the Grand Canyon’s South Rim is the Colorado River. It’s a powerful force that has carved the canyon over millions of years. Its rapids, including the famous ones like Lava Falls and Crystal Rapids, attract adventurers from around the world for rafting and kayaking. The river also provides a vital water source for the ecosystem in the canyon.
At Desert View, you can also find the historic Desert View Watchtower, designed by architect Mary Colter in the 1930s. The tower’s architecture is inspired by ancient Puebloan structures, and it offers visitors a unique perspective of the canyon from its observation decks. It’s a must-visit spot for anyone exploring the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.
