PHANTOM RANCH GRAND CANYON
Phantom Ranch is a comfortable oasis nestled at the bottom of
the Grand Canyon.
It is tucked in beside Bright Angel Creek on the north side of the
Colorado River and is the only lodging facility below the Canyon
rim.
The Ranch can only be reached by mule, by foot, or by rafting
the Colorado River and is a popular stop-over point for hikers
and mule riders traveling to the bottom of the Canyon via the
famous Bright Angel or Kaibab trails. Open year-round.
The ranch was designed by architect Mary E. J. Colter and
completed in 1922. The rustic cabins and main lodge are built of
wood and native stone and do not intrude on the natural beauty
and solitude of the setting. Overnight accommodations at
Phantom Ranch consist of dormitory spaces and cabins. Cabins
and dormitories are heated and utilize evaporative cooling
during the summer months.
Dormitories are separate for women and men -- each has ten
bunk beds, a shower, and restroom.
Phantom Ranch offers eleven unique, rustic cabins. Each is
furnished with a set of bunk beds, all bedding, cold water sink,
toilet, liquid soap, and towels. Showers are provided at a central
location.
Cabin accommodations at Phantom Ranch are included with the
overnight mule trips, while dormitory-style lodging is available to
backpackers. A National Park Service campground is also
located nearby and requires a backcountry permit. A
backcountry permit is NOT required for people staying in
Phantom Ranch dorms or cabins.
Also popular is the Phantom Ranch Canteen where meals,
beverages, and sundries are available for adventurous travelers
who journey to the bottom of the Canyon. Meals MUST be
reserved well in advance of your descent. Mule trips do include
a lunch on the way down, steak dinner that night and a
breakfast the next morning before the ride out. Hikers need to
reserve meals separately and well in advance.
Be sure to make lodging and dining reservations at Phantom
Ranch as far in advance as possible. We recommend that all
meals be reserved at the same time room reservations are
made.

advance. On the first of each month, we will begin accepting
