North Rim Lodge
"Beautiful new Grand Canyon Lodge,
constructed by the Union Pacific System
on the North Rim of Grand Canyon...
affords a magnificent view of the great
abyss and harmonizes perfectly with its
sublime surroundings."
--Press Release, circa 1929
Grand Canyon Lodge was a success from the
start. As a new attraction in 1928 on the Union
Pacific's motor tour route of Southern Utah and
Northern Arizona, the lodge spurred an instant
60% jump in rail travel to Cedar City, Utah.
Its remote location on Grand Canyon's North
Rim created a mystique that remains today.
The lodge had a rough beginning. Fire in 1932
gutted the original lodge. The replacement (the
lodge you see today) was not completed until 1937.
