Tusayan Pueblo is the remains of a small Ancestral Puebloan village located 3 miles (5 km) west of Desert View, and the park's East Entrance. This was a thriving community that created pottery, arrowheads and other household artifacts. Check at the park's visitor center to see if the site is open, and for current days and hours of operation. Ranger led tours may be offered during the summer.
Walk the relatively flat 0.1 mile (200 m) self-guiding trail around the site, that includes a number of partial walls that outline several rooms and a circular kiva. Allow 30 minutes.
Grand Canyon has been home to people for thousands of years. Considered sacred by many, this is a nurturing land, a place of spiritual and physical enrichment. Please respect this place as you would your own home. Disturbing the site or walking off trail destroys valuable information and is also illegal. Please help the National Park Service protect this natural and cultural environment for future generations.
