Dark Skies on a Grand Scale

At the North Rim, the stars shine brighter, bolder, and more breathtaking than almost anywhere else on Earth. Thanks to its remote location and commitment to preservation, Grand Canyon National Park is a premier destination for stargazing—and the North Rim is where you see the magic happen – where the canyon meets the cosmos.

Brighten Your Stay—Turn Down the Lights, Turn Up the Stars

In partnership with the National Park Service, Grand Canyon Lodge helped the park reduce light pollution by switching 5,000 fixtures to “warm white” LEDs, meeting International Dark Sky Association standards. The result—a dazzling night sky, recognized in 2019 as an official International Dark Sky Park.
