Property Description |
|
The North Rim, or "other side" of the Grand Canyon, is visited by only 10% of all Grand Canyon visitors. Viewing the extraordinary beauty of Kaibab Plateau, or "mountain lying down," the incredible flora, or the rare Kaibab squirrel, brings memorable satisfaction to all who make this journey.
The original Grand Canyon Lodge was destroyed by fire and rebuilt in 1937 by architect Gilbert Stanley Underwood. Its rustic construction of limestone walls and timbered ceilings complements the North Rim's lush beauty. The Lodge offers peace and comfort to the North Rim visitor and is a National Historic Landmark.
A spacious, informal place to unwind, the Lodge has both motel rooms and cabins to accommodate the guest and a magnificent dining room, which offers fine dining with a western flair and a view of the canyon.
The lodge also contains a sun room, Cafe, saloon and a gift shop. Activities abound: hiking, tours, canyon mule rides and photo opportunities. The area also has a campground, camper store, service station and laundromat. |

What is it like to work in a national park?
If hired, the work you will be doing will be similar to working at a high-quality private resort, but the privilege of living and working in a national park is an experience unmatched anywhere else. The jobs we offer can provide a first step toward a career in the hospitality industry or year-round employment in a park that you can call home.
What is it like to live in a national park?
There are hundreds of miles of trails to hike, outstanding terrain for mountain biking, camping, fishing, rock climbing, photography, nature walks, Park Service programs, wildlife viewing, athletic events, group trips and more.

What will be expected of me?
We are looking for employees who are willing to work hard, who enjoy working with and for others, and who take pride in a job well done. It takes considerable teamwork to provide first-class service to the millions of guests who visit the parks each year. We expect you to make a commitment to excellence in your personal standards and work habits, to respect the work that you and other employees accomplish and to create and maintain a positive living environment.
