There are hundreds of lodges, inns and hotels in America's West, but only a handful of historic Great Lodges. Great Lodges were constructed in the Western United States from the turn of the century through the 1930s. Today, they offer more than just a place to stay, but an opportunity to relive the past. Through stunning color photographs, historical pictures, rare architectural drawings and a well-documented text, Great Lodges of the West uncovers the story of twelve of the West's most significant historical lodges.

Striking photos and personal, experiential stories lure park rookies and obsessives alike to the rustic charm of America’s National Park lodges.
