Discover Kaibab Lodge: Your Gateway to Grand Canyon’s North Rim

Nestled amid the towering ponderosa pines of Kaibab National Forest, just 5 miles from the Grand Canyon North Rim entrance, Kaibab Lodge welcomes first-time visitors to experience the canyon’s less-traveled northern side. This historic accommodation offers an authentic basecamp for Grand Canyon adventures that most tourists never discover.

Modern Comfort in North Rim Wilderness

Kaibab Lodge offers diverse accommodation options to suit every traveler. Choose from single rooms, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom cabins sleeping two to eight people, each featuring private bathrooms. Many cabins include mini-fridges, microwaves, comfortable sitting areas, and scenic porches or balconies. Pet-friendly and accessible rooms ensure all visitors can enjoy the North Rim experience.

Despite its remote setting, guests stay connected through Starlink internet service—a valuable amenity in this region with no cell coverage. While deliberately free from televisions and phones, the lodge balances wilderness immersion with essential connectivity for peace of mind.

Perfect Location for North Rim Grand Canyon Exploration

Kaibab Lodge serves as the ideal basecamp for North Rim adventures. When not exploring the canyon, guests gather in the main lodge to enjoy the renowned restaurant, browse the curated gift shop, relax in the welcoming lounge, or warm themselves by the distinctive old stone fireplace that serves as the property’s heart.

The lodge’s strategic location provides unrivaled access to the North Rim’s most spectacular viewpoints and hiking trails. First-time visitors can easily reach iconic North Rim destinations:

Dark Sky Destination for North Rim Stargazing

When night falls over the Kaibab Plateau, minimal light pollution reveals a breathtaking celestial landscape. The North Rim’s designation as an International Dark Sky Park makes Kaibab Lodge perfect for meteor shower viewing, astrophotography, and Milky Way observation. The Kaibab Lodge has several telescopes available for you to enjoy the night sky on your stay. First-time visitors are often astonished by the clarity of stars visible from this remote Grand Canyon location.

For the traveler seeking to experience Grand Canyon National Park beyond the ordinary, Kaibab Lodge offers authentic North Rim accommodation in one of America’s most spectacular wilderness regions.

You will pass the Kaibab Country Store stocked with hiker supplies for those last minute needs before you begin your hike into the Grand Canyon from the North Rim.
