The Grand Canyon offers unparalleled views as far as you can see. We’ll never forget the sights of this National Park treasure. But it’s the Park’s pancakes and cinnamon rolls that motivated our morning hikes.

During a recent visit to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, we ate crispy-edged, light, fluffy, and deliciously buttermilk-y pancakes three days in a row. So delicious! The Harvey House Café in the Bright Angel Lodge pays homage to the diners founded by Fred Harvey along the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway’s main line in the 1880s. Their signature pancakes have stood the test of time.
