The Watch Tower is found at Desert View Point on the East side of the Grand Canyon. If you are already in the area, don't miss touring this neat historical tower. The paths are wide leading to the watch tower and you have wonderful views from both inside and outside of the Grand Canyon. You will make your way past the bathrooms and general store to your right.
The Watch Tower is attached to a gift shop, you can view the inside of the watch tower by walking through the gift shop and up the stairs.Inside the Watch Tower you'll find 4 sets of winding stairs that each lead to a circular room with views of the canyon.
