So glad you're enjoying your ABD, and so sorry it's almost over!!! This still remains one of my favorite ABDs! I agree the Red Cliffs Lodge is amazing (we didn't stay at the Enchantment). When I did this trip, we stayed outside the GC park in Tusayan, at the Grand Hotel. It was one of the nicest in the area, but still only a nice-but-not-great hotel. (Although probably much nicer than the Kachina). But tons of people complained because we weren't staying in the Park. I guess ABD decided that location was more important. We spent a lot of time traveling to and from the park. I like the changes they've made to the itinerary since they now stay in the park.Well, we are 1 day away .... from the endof our first ABD. We have Doug and Pamm and both are great! We have 27 adventurers with 15 being under 15. Lots of activities boys. Red cliffs is amazing as is Enchantment. I couldn't WAIT to get out of the Kachina Lodge at GC village though. A value, maybe moderate hotel at best. Air conditioning was poor as were the beds. I do get the location as the reason to stay there. Doug did speak on the bus prior to getting there about those concerns and rationale. There didn't seem to be any other choices. Dinner at el tovar was very good and the guides were able to secure a last minute reservation for one family. So far, my favorite location has to be Moab. So much so that I'm reconsidering Europe ABD next summer for Wyoming. The outdoors is amazing out here! Love, love, love my trip! Anyone with questions, I'll try to find answers. You have one more day if I don't know the answer for me to ask the guides.

I've added you to the Roll Call in the first post of this thread. If you let me know the makeup of your traveling party (unless you're traveling solo!) I'll update the Roll Call with that info.
