7 National Park Attractions You Need to Enter a Lottery to Visit

A handful of breathtaking hotels and campsites line the rim of the Grand Canyon, but did you know you can stay overnight on the canyon floor?

The only below-the-rim lodging in this national park is Phantom Ranch, located at the bottom of the canyon next to Bright Angel Creek.
