Hotels on the North Rim of Grand Canyon

Hotels on the North Rim of Grand Canyon
If you are planning to visit the wondrous Grand Canyon, you may be hoping to stay in an area where you can avoid all the crowds. The canyon's north rim is considered to be the most remote portion. You can still experience the spectacular scenery and enjoy the outdoors, only with less intrusion from other tourists. You can golf at the picturesque Coral Cliffs Golf Course (see Resources) located just across the border in Kanaub, Utah.

Kaibab Lodge

The Kaibab Lodge is located in the midst of the Kaibab National Forest, just five miles from the entrance to the north rim. It was originally built in the late-1920s and its location makes it a great place to see wildlife such as deer and a variety of birds. The Lodge operates from mid-May until Nov. each year (2009). The highlight of the main lodge is an old stone fire place and also features a souvenir shop. The restaurant is open for breakfast and dinner and offers traditional American food in a casual setting. Pets are welcome.

Grand Canyon Lodge-North Rim

The Grand Canyon Lodge-North Rim is the only place to stay on the north rim that is actually inside the canyon boundaries; it was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1987. Accommodations include frontier, Western and pioneer cabins, as well as more standard hotel rooms. The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and offers 1930's-themed menu selections. You will have access to activities such as canyon mule rides, and you will be in close proximity to a variety of hiking trails. Kids have the opportunity to become "junior rangers" each day.

Jacob Lake Inn

The Jacob Lake Inn is located 44 miles north of the north rim and offers a choice between standard rooms and rustic cabins. The site includes a bakery that makes fresh cakes and pies, and the lunch counter and casual dining room make for a relaxed dining atmosphere. Activities include hiking, mountain biking, hunting, fishing and camping, and you can enjoy a massage from the onsite massage therapist. A gift shop and country store also are on the premises, along with a full-service gas station.
