Phantom Ranch, designed by Mary Jane Colter, and built in 1922, is the only lodging facility located below the rim of the canyon! Accommodations consist of cabins or dorms. Dorms are segregated by gender. Cabins have bunk beds, sinks and toilets. Showers are provided at a central location. Dinner and breakfast is served but must be reserved in advance. Snacks and drinks are available during the day and at a social hour in the evening. You must either hike, ride a mule or come by rafting on the Colorado River.
Most of the time a space at the ranch is hard to get. They are almost always booked.
