Over the years, the only times I've stayed at a national park lodge was Zion National Park (twice) and Bryce Canyon National Park. Each time we were lodged a cabin at the lodge.
Travel + Leisure posted an article on the 8 most beautiful lodges in America's national parks. The article was posted last April (somehow I missed it).
They begin it with:
One hundred years ago, America's national park lodges were some of the country's finest architectural treasures — grand records of the moment when luxury and nature first met. They brought their lucky guests experiences they'd likely never had — and they still do just that.
These historic spots, host to a century of presidents and visionaries, still remain some of the national parks' best lodges, but now they share space with remote resorts and modern retreats, each vying to rest among the country's most scenic destinations. Should you wish to stay in any of the lodges below, one thing is for certain: Plan well in advance.
Somehow, the Old Faithful Inn in Yellowstone National Park didn't make the list, but the Ahwahnee in Yosemite National Park did. Go figure.
To see the lodges, go here.
