Grand Canyon Village
Grand Canyon Village is a small town in Northern Arizona, situated on the South rim of the Grand Canyon National Park. Whether you prefer sleeping under the stars or in a hotel, with soft beds and running water, Grand Canyon Village is an ideal hub for all your adventures and practical activities.

Note: Take the Park Shuttle, as Hermits Road is not open to private motor vehicles.
Desert View Watchtower
Towering 70-feet over the Canyon rim, the Desert View Watchtower provides a panoramic view of the Grand Canyon, Vermilion Cliffs and Painted Desert. Sunrise is the most auspicious time for picture taking; yet, sunset borders on the sacred, when the sinking sun radiates multi-colored hues throughout the Grand Canyon.
