East Grand Canyon Hotels

Right at the junction of highway 89 and 64 is the historic Cameron Trading Post. This post or small business center has played an important role in the development of the West and Grand Canyon area since 1916. Originally, the trading post was a market place for the Native American Navajo and Hopi to barter their wools, blankets and goods. Over the years, Cameron Trading Post grew to include a restaurant, store, galleries and motel for travelers. If you would like the experience of history with modern updates, this hotel may be the place for you.
