Although the rain had calmed down, fortunately, the clouds remained for the drive to the Desert Watchtower.
What a phenomenal place for sweeping canyon views and photography!
The Desert Watchtower is a 70-foot-tall stone observation tower on the eastern south rim of the Grand Canyon. Built in the 1930s, it seamlessly blends into the landscape and architectural traditions.
And the inside...
... is definitely worth the 4 level, 85 step climb to the top.
The Canyon views aren't the only gorgeous views.
Leaving the Watchtower, the road belonged to ravens.
Wonder if the Watchtower was built for the same reason as the castle at Coronado Heights?
