Jacob Lake Inn Cafe

Jacob Lake Inn Cafe

After driving for what seems like forever past the Vermilion Cliffs, you will be very glad to come upon the Jacob Lake Inn near the North Rim entrance to the Grand Canyon National Park. This is because you really haven't seen anyone or anything for quite a while by the time you get here! And, because when you get here, you know you are almost to the North Rim! Well, it's still a bit of a drive, but if you stop here for a bite to eat, you'll get that second wind you need to get you the rest of the way.

We've never stayed at the inn, but it's fun to stop in the general store and have a bite to eat in the cafe. It's really more of a lunch bar, with a few tables and stools at the counter. This is a place you'd stop for a cool drink or a milk shake and a hamburger or hot dog--or maybe a grilled cheese sandwich and some french fries. In any case, it's kind of an oasis after a long drive, and a bit of old Americana, diner style. The store is the only place to pick up any kind of food or supplies before heading into the park. It's a pretty neat store, with a trading-post feel to it.
