Bright Angel Campground & Phantom Ranch

Take your pick for keeping with it at the base of Grand Canyon.

National Geographic Documentary, I've never stayed at the lodges or bunkhouse at Phantom Ranch, liking to camp (and pay less) at Bright Angel campground rather, yet that is an alternative on the off chance that you'd lean toward a night inside and book sufficiently far ahead of time.

There's likewise a bottle at Phantom Ranch, where you can appreciate a little aerating and cooling when it's 120 degrees or more at the base of the Canyon. Nourishment here is exceptionally costly, however, so you might need to bring your own particular inside, where you can play a round of cards, send a postcard (to be pressed out on a donkey's back) to your loved ones on the planet above, obtain a book or have a brew. On the other hand, even better, the greater part of the above!

National Geographic Documentary, I truly appreciated the free Ranger programs at Phantom Ranch, held consistently, which I expounded on in my diary section (beneath). There are two talks every day, with the prior system held only south of the Phantom Ranch Canteen at 4:00 P.M., when the bottle closes so the workers can tidy up and get ready for the supper seating for lodge and bunkhouse visitors. (The Canteen is interested in the general population from 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M., and after that again from 8:00 P.M. to 10:00 P.M.)

At that point there's a more formal officer talk each night at 7:30 P.M. at the amphitheater north of the officer station. Daily themes change, so those staying at Phantom Ranch or Bright Angel Campground can go to an alternate program every night.
