(USA Today) Room availability in national park lodges is frequently in short supply, especially during the busy summer season. Overall, the number of rooms in America’s national-park lodges has remained essentially unchanged for decades. An increasing number of travelers chasing the same number of rooms inevitably leads to reservation difficulties.
Although it can be quite difficult to obtain a room at one of the most famous lodges, such as Yellowstone’s Old Faithful Inn, Glacier National Park’s Many Glacier Hotel, Yosemite’s Ahwahnee, and Grand Canyon National Park’s El Tovar, during high season, there are steps you can take to improve your chances of securing a reservation.
