Grand Canyon West cabins at a glance
The cabins at Grand Canyon West are non-smoking and sleep up to 6 guests. Some have a refrigerator and a microwave. They stand at Hualapai Point, one of three visitor areas on the Hualapai Reservation, alongside Eagle Point (with the Skywalk) and Guano Point. Sleeping at the rim saves you the long desert drive on the day you visit.
A cabin booking is separate from the ticket. It does not make park entry free, and no National Park Service pass is valid here. The cabin booking offers 20 percent off an All-Access pass for the guest plus one companion, redeemed at the Cabin Concierge at Hualapai Point. For the passes themselves, see our guide to Grand Canyon West tickets and packages.
Hualapai Ranch and Hualapai Point
The area is now called Hualapai Point, and some people still say Hualapai Ranch. It offers cultural programs, a zipline, an arcade and the cabins.
Do not plan around a daily cowboy show, wagon rides or a riding stable. Ask about horseback riding when you reserve. If you want a ride or a show as part of the stay, get the answer in writing before you pay.
The same rim is also where the flights and the Skywalk are. If you are still choosing between the viewpoints, read about Guano Point and Eagle Point first.
Our pick: a helicopter landing at the rim
If you stay in the cabins, this flight meets at Grand Canyon West itself, so the stay and the flight sit in the same place.

What to know before you book a cabin
Practical points for an overnight stay on the Hualapai Reservation.
Reserve ahead
A self-drive day visit needs no reservation. Overnight stays, rafting and tours with transport do. Nightly rates depend on the date, so ask for the current rate and what is included when you book.
Check-in times
RV camping lists check-in at 3 p.m. and check-out at 11 a.m. Ask the Cabin Concierge whether the same times apply to your cabin.
Luggage at the entrance
The visitor entrance check does not allow outside food, large bags, coolers or standard two-strap backpacks. Small bags are sometimes allowed after a security check. Ask how to bring your luggage before you arrive.
Rules on the reservation
Drones, weapons, open fires and grills are not allowed. Smoking and vaping are only for marked areas. Stay out of signed closed areas and private property, and take nothing from the land.
Zipline and activities at Hualapai Point
The zipline starts at Hualapai Point at 9:20 a.m. In summer, line up before 3 p.m.; the winter last-rider time is 4:30 p.m. Capacity is limited and the ride depends on the weather. It is part of the All-Access pass, subject to availability.
Riders must be at least 4 ft (1.22 m) tall and weigh 90 to 275 lb (40.8 to 124.7 kg). The ride is not open to pregnant guests or to anyone with an earlier neck or back injury. Expect several flights of stairs. Age and accompaniment rules for children depend on age, so ask at the ticket desk before you plan on it with a family.
The All-Access pass also covers the arcade, the cultural programs, the walking paths and the shuttle between Eagle Point, Guano Point and Hualapai Point.
Food and supplies on the rim
Three places serve food: a restaurant and two cafes, one at the Skywalk and one at Guano Point. Each is open daily from 10:00 to 17:15, and hours can change. Eat early or late if you can, because the Skywalk is busiest from 11:00 to 15:00.
All-Access passes come with two vouchers worth $10 each, one for food and one for merchandise. Each applies only once you spend $20 on the same type of purchase per person, so they are not a free meal. Unused pass benefits are not refunded.
Other places to stay near the West Rim
When the cabins are full or you prefer a town, these are the usual choices.
| Where | Drive to the West Rim | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Cabins at Hualapai Point | On site | Sleeping at the rim, no morning drive |
| RV camping on site | On site | Dry camping with your own vehicle, no hookups |
| Lodge in Peach Springs | About 2 hours | Rafting trips, which check in at the lodge lobby |
| Kingman | Check a route planner | Route 66 stops and the museum |
| Las Vegas | About 2 to 2.5 hours | Hotel pickups on selected packages |
For most visitors, a cabin at Hualapai Point is the simplest choice for a night at the rim, and Las Vegas works best if you book a package with hotel pickup. Pick Peach Springs only if you are rafting. The lodge in Peach Springs is closed on 26 November 2026 and operates normally again from 27 November 2026.
Peach Springs and Kingman both sit on the old highway. Our Route 66 guide covers what to see in each. The usual starting point is Las Vegas, so see how to get from Las Vegas to Grand Canyon West for the drive. If you would rather sleep on the other side of the canyon, there is a separate guide to where to stay at the South Rim.
