Phantom Ranch (and Environs)

Designed by Mary Colter, the only lodge below the rim of the Grand Canyon opened in 1922.  Despite being accessible only by foot, mule or boat, one needs to make reservations months, if not a year or more, in advance.  The other option is to stay in the Bright Angel Campground about 1/2 mile closer to the river, which also requires advance reservations.
