The Kaibab Lodge from Hwy 67. Great food and nice place to stay if you're not camping. Hunters often rally here for a hot meal and to see who got what.

2. Kaibab Lodge: The Kaibab Lodge is in the heart of the North Kaibab National Forest just five miles from the entrance to Grand Canyon National Park's north rim. Built "about 1926-1927," the lodge is said by some to have once been a working cattle ranch. Now, it's a quiet place with a variety of cabins that can sleep from 2 to 8 adults. It's a great place to come see the mule deer, wild turkey, the unique Kaibab squirrel, a variety of wild birds or to visit the Grand Canyon National Park. At 8,770 feet above sea level, the lodge is a cool getaway from the hot surrounding desert. Make a reservation today!
