   EDITOR REVIEW:

SOUTH RIM.   Designed by Mary E.J. Colter and completed in 1922, this rustic complex sits at the bottom of the Canyon and features cabins and dorms of native stone and wood. The ranch is the only lodging available below the rim and requires reservations well in advance (often years!) for both beds and meals. Visitors are provided access only by hiking, mule rides, or rafting, and cabins are primarily reserved for riders while dorms are set aside for hikers. Shared baths and showers are the norm. A campground is also nearby for rugged individualists (requires a backcountry permit). Two breakfast seatings, bag lunches, and dinner seatings (one for steak, one for beef stew) are available daily. After dinner is served, the dining hall accommodates nightlifers who want a cold beer and a round of conversation. Widely reputed to be one of the best experiences in the National Park.
