A campground is also located nearby. If you plan an overnight stay, be sure to make reservations as far in advance as possible.

Grand Canyon Lodge was built in the late 1920's by Union Pacific Railroad architect, Gilbert Stanley Underwood. Not only did Underwood design Grand Canyon Lodge, he also drew the plans for Yosemite's Ahwahnee Hotel, as well as hotels and cabins at Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks.
