Where is Grand Canyon Lodge? What to know about the North Rim hotel destroyed by fire

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Grand Canyon Lodge, which burned in the Dragon Bravo Fire over the weekend of July 12-13, was on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, the more remote and less visited part of the national park.

The lodge opened in June 1937 and was the only hotel inside Grand Canyon National Park boundaries on the North Rim.

It had a limestone façade that was sourced nearby, and massive ponderosa pine trees were turned into support beams to hold up a sloped roof capable of supporting heavy loads of snow, according to the National Park Service.

The lodge was built on the foundation of an earlier lodge that burned down in a fire, and it reused many of the original's materials.

It was so beautiful and I’m sad I didn’t stay there when I was in the Grand Canyon in 2016.
