Grand Canyon National Park - Bright Angel Lodge in Fall. Photo taken September 15, 2014. The Bright Angel Lodge, designed in 1935, has a natural, rustic character, and is a Registered National Historic Landmark. The Bright Angel Lodge as it appears today was designed and built by famous Southwest architect Mary Colter. The Bright Angel Lodge we see today went through many transformations - originally a hotel, then a camp and finally a lodge. All of its changes were to accommodate increased visitation after the arrival of the train in 1901. Under the direction of the Santa Fe Railroad, Mary Colter’s task in designing a fresh look for Bright Angel Lodge was to ensure more moderately priced lodging than was offered at the El Tovar up the hill. Today the Bright Angel Lodge is its own bit of history preserved for visitors to admire and enjoy. Now more than simply a place to stay, its character is a collection of things that have happened here, and it has many stories to tell. .
