Earlier this summer we ran a list of the "Top 10 Lodges" in the park system. Admittedly it's a "soft" list, one that definitely is not objective. But what some might find objectionable are the nightly costs for staying in some of these places.
Regular reader and occasional contributor Owen Hoffman took a little time the other day to come up with the most recent rates for staying in these places, and this is what he found. The list correlates to the rankings of the Top 10 Lodges, not to respective pricing.
