Great views of the canyon but ticket process was a bit confusing
Grand Canyon Desert View Watchtower的点评
点评:We arrived a bit before 3:30 and saw a few people in a line outside the tower. As we were about to walk indoors, we overheard an employee at the front of the line answering another person’s question about how to get tickets to climb the tower. He told them he would give 25 free tickets out at 3:40 for a 4PM admit time so we immediately got into the line. There was a small sign beside the line indicating admit times and ticket times but nothing that said tickets were given out every 20 minutes for entry exactly 20 minutes later. The watchtower is decorated with an Indian decor, and there are some furniture and wall paintings to admire on each of the 3 floors that you climb to reach the top. The upper floor has numerous large windows with great views of the canyon. There is also a large outdoor deck on one of the lower floors that gives good views of the canyon without having to peer through a glass window. Best of all, it was not crowded since only 25 people at a time are allowed in.
翻译:我们到达时快到3点半了,看到塔外排着长队。正要走进塔内,无意中听到队伍最前面的一位工作人员正在回答另一个人关于如何获得登塔门票的问题。他告诉他们,下午3点40分会发放25张免费门票,入场时间为下午4点,所以我们立刻就去排队了。队伍旁边有一个小牌子,上面写着入场时间和售票时间,但没有写每20分钟发放一次门票,20分钟后准时入场。瞭望塔的装饰风格是印度风格,登上塔顶的三层楼,每一层都摆放着一些家具和壁画供您欣赏。楼上有很多大窗户,可以欣赏峡谷的壮丽景色。楼下还有一个宽敞的户外露台,无需透过玻璃窗就能欣赏到峡谷的美景。最棒的是,由于每次只允许25人进入,所以人并不多。
