Status of the North Rim  National Park Service (.gov)

In July 2025, the Dragon Bravo Fire destroyed approximately 70 structures, including the historic Grand Canyon Lodge, the North Rim Visitor Center, and many guest cabins. As a result, the North Rim developed area remains closed to all public access for the remainder of the 2025 season. This closure includes all lodging, visitor services, and developed facilities. The park is currently focused on emergency stabilization to protect remaining infrastructure and natural resources. Planning is underway for the recovery and rebuilding of visitor facilities, including the Grand Canyon Lodge, although this process will take time. While the South Rim remains open and continues to welcome visitors, there is currently no access to the North Rim or to North Rim facilities.

We understand the importance of the North Rim to our visitors, employees, and partners, and we are committed to keeping the public informed as plans for recovery progress.
