About Grand Canyon Lodge � North Rim
Grand Canyon Lodge - North Rim is the only lodging inside the National Park on the North Rim. Located at Bright Angel Point, the Lodge was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1987. The original Lodge was constructed in 1928 and burned in 1932, The current Lodge was rebuilt in 1937 using as much of the original structure as possible. Here, guests may enjoy the quiet serenity of the North Rim while enjoying comfortable guest rooms and cabins; the cabins were constructed in the 1930s and 40s. While restrooms and showers have since been added, these cabins retain their original rustic charm. To this day, not one of the cabins has a television or radio.

Guests may settle into either a western log cabin or a timbered guest room. Options include taking an easy hike along the rim or riding a mule along steep trails into the canyon; pausing to watch the antics of a foraging squirrel; or heading to the main lodge building and enjoy stunning views from its expansive windows or outdoor terrace. From this picturesque spot, visitors may marvel at views of the South Rim and San Francisco Peaks, as well as the Deva, Brahma and Zoroaster temples. Or they may simply listen to the way the breeze blows through the fragrant pinions and ponderosas. For more information or reservations, call 877-386-4383 or visit www.GrandCanyonLodgeNorth.com.
