Grandview Lookout Tower

The Grandview Lookout Tower is an 80-ft steel fire lookout tower located in Kaibab National Forest. It was built in 1936 by the Civilian Conservation Corps as a method to help detect and control wild fire. The tower is part of a series of fire watch towers that survey areas within Kaibab National Forest.

Today, visitors can climb the 80-ft staircase and enjoy incredible views of the Grand Canyon as well as the San Francisco Peaks. The surrounding area features dispersed camping, a variety of hiking trails, and educational nature walks. This site is also a trailhead for the Arizona National Scenic Trail.
