An old farmhouse, originally built in 1908 by three Bavarian brothers, has been restored to serve as the Lodge Restaurant. Its main attraction is an awe inspiring view of the canyon landscape which makes a meal at the restaurant truly an experience not to be missed.

Tall weather beaten granite boulders mark the location of the lodge and form an integral part of the overall design.
