About this listen

 Episode 2 explores the unique guest experience at Grand Canyon Lodge North Rim before its tragic destruction. Host Jasper Wilde details the diverse accommodation options including frontier cabins, pioneer cabins that slept up to six guests, ADA-accessible units, and motel rooms positioned steps from the canyon rim. The episode covers the lodge's exceptional dining room with sweeping canyon views, the morning coffee deli, and the beloved Roughrider Saloon where travelers gathered to share adventure stories. Wilde describes the seasonal operation from mid-May to mid-October, the complimentary parking, trail access including alternatives when Bright Angel Point was closed for repairs, and special features like the bronze statue "Brightly the Bison" that became a North Rim tradition. The episode captures the authentic wilderness experience balanced with modern comfort that made the lodge such a magical destination for nearly a century.
