Built in 1935 and designed by famed architect Mary E.J. Colter, Bright Angel Lodge has a natural, rustic character and is in the center of South Rim activity, serving as the check-in point for the renowned Grand Canyon mule rides. Several cabins hold storied histories of their own, including the Buckey O'Neill Cabin, which was built in the 1890s by William “Buckey” O'Neill, a member of Teddy Roosevelt’s Rough Riders and a man instrumental in establishing what would eventually become the Grand Canyon Railway. From its dining options to the knowledgeable activities desk, guests will be welcomed with authentic Southwestern hospitality and breathtaking canyon views at Bright Angel Lodge & Cabin in the Grand Canyon.
