Having stayed at the Kaibab Lodge in the early 90’s. We thought it was awful. Old creaky beds, tiny bathrooms (where if you sat on the toilet you could rest your arms on the sink). It was cheap then - about what you would expect to pay for a halfway decent motel like... (more...)
During my 3 months in the US I have heard the word “Awesome” used in all sorts of situations - “an awesome pass”, during a football game, “an awesome meal”, “an awesome body” etc. But using this word in connection with The... (more...)
The Grand Canyon is something everyone should see at least once. It defies explanation and pictures do not begin to capture its beauty and immensity. The North Rim is much less crowded and if you have a 4wheel drive you can go on some of the back roads that lead to the rim,... (more...)
I’m not a religious person(don’t hate)but I must say that seeing both rims at the canyon was probably as majestic as it gets without seeing your spiritual being up close and personal. Bright Angel Point at the north rim is where I laid my long time friend of... (more...)
Visited the North Rim in late September 2004. Although there were a reasonable number of other visitors it didn’t feel at all crowded and seemed so tranquil. I believe the views from the North rim points are just as good as the south and no jostling at photo points... (more...)
The Grand Canyon comes with a lot of baggage. For a century at least, the 277-mile gash through Earth’s skin in northwestern Arizona has been unrivaled as the must-see monument of natural America. Nearly 5 million people a year visit, and therein lies the problem.... (more...)
The walls whisper of billions of years, the rapids roar like thunder, and time drifts by as endlessly as the Colorado River flowing… At first I mistake the noise for the sound of my own heart hurling itself against the bars of my rib cage as boatman Jan Yost maneuvers... (more...)
My wife and I stayed in a Western Cabin on July 21st, 2004. We liked this place very much. The cabins are grouped in quads and we had one that was in the middle of all the Western Cabins. The cabin was almost identical to the Western Cabin we stayed at Bryce NP. It was great... (more...)
We could not get a reservation on the North Rim Grand Canyon Lodge for summer of 2004, so made the reservation last year for 2005. Well worth the wait! We had a pioneer cabin - 2 rooms separated by a bathroom, sleeps 5. The pros: - unbelievable location! quiet! views! deer... (more...)
In November, 2001, I took a trip to Arizona and stopped at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, almost as an afterthought. Since I was in the area, I figured I’d stop by and see this “must see” place known as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. I read... (more...)
