Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Phantom Ranch is located at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, along the Colorado River’s northern side at Bright Angel Creek. As the only lodging option in the region located below the canyon rim, the ranch is only accessible on foot, mule, or by boat raft. The ranch was designed in the 1920s by Mary Jane Colter at the request of the National Park Service and is one of the most sought-after accommodation sites in the region today, offering a room lottery due to its extremely limited space. Cabins accommodate two to 12 visitors, with dormitories available only to area hikers, who are advised to book space 13 months in advance of desired stay. The ranch’s canteen offers family-style meals twice a day and provides sack lunches for hikers upon request. Though children are welcome at the ranch, visitors under five are restricted to cabin use only due to extreme temperatures and strenuous conditions on hikes.
