Desert View Tower

Mick Calarco

I really enjoyed my visit to the Desert View Tower. There's an interesting story and a great vibe here. If you like history and unusual architecture, then this place is for you. The tower offers great open air views of the desert from the top. The lower floors are filled with an eclectic and interesting blend of gift shop, bookstore, museum items and other oddities - a authentic roadside attraction. Leave plenty of time to explore Boulder Park and view the carved rock sculptures. In addition to the really nice people that operate the site, you may discover and view the peafowl that roam the grounds. Definitely worth the visit and the bargain price of admission. Don't miss it.

Driving back from AZ we randomly saw this place and it's definitely worth checking out! You can go up the watch tower and climb some rocks in the back with cool art all around.

Really beautiful place to see a sunset. The tower itself is a really unique, one-of-a-kind place. There’s also a painted rock area behind the tower. All-in-all, definitely worth stopping.

LOVED THIS PLACE!!! So excited to stop and check it out. Unfortunately we got here after closing so we didn't get to go in the tower and explore, but the rest of the area was super neat!! The carved and painted rocks were amazing. The view was gorgeous. There were live peacocks. The little short road from the highway to here had all sorts of fun odd alien scenes! We weren't sure how much we were allowed to explore, so we didn't. It looked like it was actually people's homes and back yards so we didn't want to intrude too much. Will for sure stop here again sometime
