Desert View Drive
Drive-by grandeur
Don’t even think of buzzing in and out the east entrance without stopping. The 25-mile road connects six viewpoints and five unmarked pullouts, four picnic areas, Tusayan Ruin and Museum, and the Desert View service area with the Watchtower, Trading Post, snack bar, book store, service station, and campgrounds. Grandview, Moran, Lipan, and Navajo points offer some of the most panoramic vistas in the park with sculpted formations and river views. Yaki Point is shuttle bus access only.
