Eco Friendly Lodging at the Grand Canyon
The Grand Canyon is one of the most visited national parks in the world, with millions of people exploring it every year. That is an incredible thing, but it also means the land sees a lot of pressure. We grew up here, and when we built Highland Grand Canyon, we knew we wanted it to be different. We wanted it to be beautiful, comfortable, and welcoming while also being eco friendly and designed to protect the place we love.
If you are searching for eco friendly lodging at the Grand Canyon, Highland offers a retreat that lets you enjoy comfort while knowing your stay supports sustainability.
What Eco Friendly Means at Highland
Eco friendly can be a buzzword, but for us it is a real part of our daily life. Here is what it looks like in action:
Solar power only: Our retreat is completely off-grid and runs on solar. Every lantern, every heated mattress pad, and every path light is powered by the sun.
Dark sky lighting: Our lights are small, shielded, and designed to protect the starry skies. That is why you can see the Milky Way so clearly from your porch.
Removable structures: Our tents sit on decks that can be taken apart, along with the bathhouse and kitchen. If Highland ever closed, the land could return to its natural state.
Water conservation: Our bathhouse is designed to provide hot showers without wasting water. In the desert, every drop counts.
Comfort Without Compromise
Just because Highland is eco friendly does not mean it feels bare bones. Far from it. Guests sleep in king beds with down duvets, relax on porches strung with lantern light, and enjoy hot showers in private bathhouses stocked with eco friendly toiletries.
We built Highland to prove that sustainable design can also feel luxurious. You do not need to give up comfort to travel responsibly.
Why Eco Friendly Lodging Matters at the Grand Canyon
When you are standing at the rim, looking out over a mile of rock layers, it is easy to feel small. The Canyon has been here for millions of years, and it deserves to be treated with respect. The choices we make in lodging add up. Staying somewhere eco friendly helps protect the land for future visitors.
Hotels use huge amounts of energy, and campgrounds often deal with waste left behind. At Highland, our goal is to show a different way, one that gives you the adventure you came for while protecting the land we all love.
Local Perspective From Your Hosts
As locals, we know this land deeply. We grew up exploring trails, watching elk graze, and seeing just how powerful the monsoon storms can be. Building Highland was not just a business for us, it was a way of sharing our family land responsibly.
We love helping guests plan their trips in thoughtful ways like choosing hikes that spread out crowds, recommending locally owned restaurants, and encouraging people to slow down and really see the Canyon. That is part of being eco friendly too: taking care of the land and the community.
