Guessing based on their breakfast that their lunch/ dinner is good... but it's hard to find good breakfast places and this is definitely one! * Highly recommend the Warrior Surprise and the Ranch Hand. *The Navajo taco with an egg anyway you want it... not only tasty but such a huge portion. Get the fresh onions and salsa on the side and you can decide how much you want if it. * The country fried steak was tender and that is some of the best gravy that comes with the Ranch Hand. Recommend opting for the fry bread for an extra 1.75... totally a treat! *Service was attentive and friendly * Dining room views of the outside was pretty. * Didn't stay at the lodge but would consider it given the pretty landscaping and access to a restaurant within walking distance... a good restaurant. *Clean restrooms *Can get busy when tour busses stop *Def will return

The people couldn't have been nicer or made you feel more like a guest then a customer. We were checked on a couple of times, asked about where we were from and traveling to. The star of the show here though is definitely the food. It is the Arizona equivalent of street tacos back home. Made the same way for generations.

We stopped here & politely turned down the optional "tour" that we were immediately pressured to take (since we just wanted to just walk around on our own). I told them we were simply going to spend a few minutes there. After about 15 minutes, as we were leaving, we were suddenly, from out of nowhere, verbally assaulted when one man began pounding on our car window and screaming at us. Then, two other Navajo guides (see photo 1)--a man and woman--began yelling at us & threatening us, telling us to "Get the F---- out of here" and "You're not welcome!" THEN IT GOT VIOLENT when one large man (see photo 2) said "You better get the F--- out of here RIGHT NOW," picked up a large rock, and actually threw it at our windshield. It cracked (see photo 3). If it had shattered, my wife would've been covered with glass. We were in shock! It had escalated from nothing at all happening to extreme violence and us being in danger in literally seconds! He then began to walk toward the car and I realized both my wife and I were in serious danger. The guy was like 6'4, 240-275 lbs and in his twenties. I am 65 years old!!! These people are not just pushy, they are extremely violent. We immediately called the police when a safe distance down the road (see photo 4) and are pressing charges. We absolutely in danger. These people practically force you to pay up (when there is no fee, supposedly)--and if you don't pay, then you will be threatened (see other 1-star reviews on YELP detailing violence & aggression & assault) and, as in our case, actually attacked -- they are very violent.

This was my first time entering through this station on a recent trip to the Grand Canyon. I…read moreusually go through Tusayan to the South Rim. The South Rim station can busy during peak times. Desert View Station only had a few cars in line on the day I was here. Desert View Entrance Station serves as a secondary gateway to the South Rim and the primary portal to the Desert View area. It is open 24 hours/day, 7 days/week. There is also a gas station nearby if you are running low. Desert View is a small settlement on the South Rim that is located about 20 miles east of Grand Canyon Village. Within the area is the iconic Watchtower structure. The view here is the first glimpse you get of the Grand Canyon. If you are traveling on the on US 89, you can get to Desert View by turning west onto State Route 64 in Cameron, AZ. Then travel about 25 miles until you get to the Desert View (East) Entrance. The Desert View area is after you enter the park. Entrance is free with a national park pass.

Have you ever considered not writing a review for fear that people will read it and mess up a good…read morething? I have thought long and hard about writing this review for that very reason. After much contemplation I realized that most people don't really read reviews, so I am here to help out those that do. Made it this far? Listen up. If you are visiting Grand Canyon National Park, you owe it to yourself to enter via the Desert View Entrance Station. Ignore the main entrance at all costs. What makes this entrance so special? A lot. The drive - The drive to this entrance is beautiful. Most of the area leading up to the park is reservation land. The views are spectacular. There is considerably less traffic driving this way. If you get stuck behind a slow moving RV it sucks for a little while, but there are plenty of opportunities to pass. The entrance - Once inside the park the cost is the same as at the main entrance. The staff were very friendly and there was no wait at all. Gas - Want to buy some expensive ass gas? There is a station right near this entrance. I would fill up here just to say you did, but it will const considerable more than stations in town. Convenience - I hate riding the bus. The buses are filthy, the buses are nasty, the buses are not new. Not really, but I always wanted to say that in a review. Inside jokes are the best. But really, there are many viewpoints that can be accessed by this entrance where you can park and take in the view. Most people are entering from the main gate and so driving from this gate means way less crowds. If you made it this far, congratulations. Give me a high five when you see me for sharing this knowledge with you.

For Navajo arts and items, I like the Cameron Trading Post because of the wide variety and it being so close to Flagstaff.
