The Eldin Canyon Skyview Tower is the first Skyview Tower you will come to when heading northeast from Lookout Landing. Head northeast from Lookout Landing and cross the two rivers between you and the tower.

When you get to the road, follow it north and then east, up into the hills. Once you get to the sign that welcomes you to Death Mountain, go off the road and climb the rest of the way up to the tower. 

You'll also notice it before you arrive. Remember, it's a massive tower!
