You can make a summer reservation for Grand Canyon Lodge beginning Friday/Kurt Repanshek file

Trying to snag a lodge reservation in the National Park System often can be challenging. With many lodges allowing you to book a room six months or more in advance, sometimes by the time you think you'd like to make a reservation nothing is available. Well, Forever Resorts is taking reservations for Grand Canyon Lodge on Grand Canyon National Park's North Rim in blocks through the spring.

This year, at least, reservations for the lodge will be taken on the following schedule:

  • Beginning Friday January 22, bookings will be available for May 15 through June 30
  • Beginning Friday February 12, bookings will be available for July 1 through July 31
  • Beginning Friday March 12th, bookings will book be available for August 1 through August 31
  • Beginning Friday April 2, bookings will be available for September 1 through October 15

Online reservations will be available those days at 7 a.m. MST and Central Reservations will be available at 8 a.m. MST

​Grand Canyon Lodge is set to reopen on May 15 for the summer season.

Support National Parks Traveler

Your support for the National Parks Traveler comes at a time when news organizations are finding it hard, if not impossible, to stay in business. Traveler's work is vital. For nearly two decades we've provided essential coverage of national parks and protected areas. With the Trump administration’s determination to downsize the federal government, and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum’s approach to public lands focused on energy exploration, it’s clear the Traveler will have much to cover in the months and years ahead. We know of no other news organization that provides such broad coverage of national parks and protected areas on a daily basis. Your support is greatly appreciated.

January 15th - reservation day was an absolute debacle! I was able to reserve a cabin and the system debited my credit card only to find that a week later all reservations are hereby canceled. The reservstion window has been pushed back 3 times in the past 6 months and now has been pushed back again to 3 future dates. Forever Resorts is incompetent and should lose their concession contract with NPS!

My January 15th experience with Forever Resorts was by far my worst reservation experience with any national park. I did receive a confirmation several hours after multiple attempts when the payment did not process. Later found 4 pending charges. When I called on Jan. 18th for verbal confirmation I was told that I really didn't have the cabin requested. The person I spoke with was pleasant and the dining room / saloon employees have always been great. But management and visible cabin maintenance have both deteriorated significantly over the last few years. I've been visiting the North Rim since the mid-90s and the changes I've witnessed make me very sad.

The reservation windows have been pushed back again.  Reservations for May through June won't be available until February 12th; reservations for later in the summer will be delayed until March and April.  Payments for those reservations that were confirmed on January 15th have not been finalized.  They don't seem to have a working reservation system.  I don't see how a concessionaire who's been operating this lodge for years can be this unorganized and still maintain their contract.

Thought I had reservations, too.  Received the confirmation emails, saw the pending charges on my credit card.  Checked today - no charges.  No email to me to say - sorry, you don't have a reservation.  This should have been forseeable.
