North Rim of Grand Canyon closed for rest of year due to wildfire

Travelers can still visit the South Rim safely despite smoke visibility. However, state Route 67 into the North Park entrance is closed. For updates on trail closures or conditions, travelers should consult the park's website or contact the Backcountry Permit office.

The NPS provides real-time updates on emergency messages through their website. They also offer webcam views at key points along the South Rim for traffic conditions and air quality monitoring.

Due to another fire called White Sage Fire, parts of state Route 89A in northern Arizona are closed. Travelers heading north towards Zion National Park should check road conditions via Arizona 511.

The reopening date for the North Rim after damage from Dragon Bravo Fire is uncertain. It typically closes around mid-October annually due to weather conditions.

For those with bookings at affected areas in Grand Canyon National Park, especially at lost facilities like Grand Canyon Lodge operated by Aramark, cancellations are expected. Future reservation holders will be contacted soon according to lodge statements online.

Campsite reservations at North Rim have been canceled; alternatives include Mather and Desert View campgrounds on the South Rim as per Recreation.gov announcements.
