Phantom Ranch has been a solitary refuge visited by some of the most famous names of history. More typically, it’s been a beacon for more than a century for the half-collapsed, exhausted and overheated hikers trudging down the Grand Canyon.
The sole lodge at the very bottom of the Grand Canyon, the cabins long had a near mythical reputation. Located along the Bright Angel Creek, which tumbles into the mighty Colorado River at the base of the canyon, they served as a reminder of the long history of one of America’s most spectacular but savage environments.
