Is there air conditioning at the Phantom Ranch?

The dorms also have evaporative cooling units - work just as well as AC in that environment.

So are they all like dorms with bunkbeds? I was looking into this for a honey moon trip.

No there are cabins with bunk beds and cabins with queen beds.

How far os the hike? How fit must you be to do the hike?

Be pretty fit. Don't underestimate the heat! Start hiking at sunset. Walked rim2rim last may and stayed a night at Phantom Ranch, great experience!

How many bunk beds in the dorms

Five bunk beds were in the womans dorm i stayed in

This is down in the Grand Canyon correc? How do you get down there?

Yep... Phantom Ranch sits at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. From the south rim the Bright angel or South Kaibab we get you there. SK is shorter but steeper and is more exposed and has no water. BA is longer but often shaded and has water at multiple stops. Its a no joke hike to make in one day (the park service says dont even try) most people go down SK and up BA. I wouldn't recommend it unless you are in tip top shape and have been training for it. Hiking down to Phantom is optional, hiking back out is mandatory. :) From the north rim you can get there by taking the North Kaibab trail but its about 14 miles and then you still have to hike out either SK or BA. Its an amazing hike but not for the faint or heart. Do your research and plan well, lots of food and enough water.

What is there to do down at Phantom Ranch are there small day hikes to a creek or just hang out there ?

Clear Creek trail offers a nice hike to the perennial creek for a splash and great views. You can always hike up the North Kaibab trail to Cottonwood and make a stop at Ribbon Falls. Splash in Bright Angel Creek. Mingle with the mules. Meet people from all over the world. Hike the loop over the bridges.Ranger talks are great. Tarantula hunting is cool at night. Great map you can order thru REI is the Sky Terrain map of GCNP.

Aren't those cabins west of Bright Angel Creek?

No, just east of the creek.

I want to make a reservation, where can I make it?

grandcanyonlodges.com if you want to make a reservation for Phantom Ranch. Typically you would make a reservation through their lottery system, but you can also check the cancellation list for availability.

I use a BiPAP machine at night. Are there electrical outlets in the bunking rooms that an extension cord will reach?

There are in the cabins with bunks but not sure about the dormitories

Am I able to stay with my dogs?

Dogs are not allowed in the canyon.
