Grand Canyon Lodge – North Rim
Ask anyone if they’ve been to the Grand Canyon and quite a few hands go up. Ask them if they’ve been to the north rim and most hands go down. But the north rim holds a few secrets; For one, there’s far less tourists, and for two, there’s the spectacular (and accessible) Grand Canyon Lodge.

Its not too often you visit a 100-year old schoolhouse and find a wheelchair-accessible trail out back. And I’m not talking about your garden variety semi-accessible trail either. This may be one of the best short trails in Arizona.
