Maswik Lodge and the Bright Angel Trailhead/Rim Trail
Our stay on the south rim was at Maswik. John and Tammy scored a room in the newer soyth section (with elevators!), while were in "Aspen" in the north section. The main lodge building has a gift shop and a food court with several hot service stations, and a separate "Pizza Pub" resturant.
The hot service was a pretty mixed bag. The main breakfast station was pretty much always cold and frankly not very good. The omelet bar was OK, and Elizabeth talked the guy working it to make me cheese omelets with American cheese, so that was a win. I was also surprised that they didn't have more "homemade style" pastries and deserts, but I guess it's too remote to really do that.
Since I forgot to get pictures when I finished, early Thursday I went out to get pictures at the Bright Angel Trailhead and look at the Rim Trail a bit.
