Grand Canyon National Park's North Rim, which has been closed to the public due to a wildfire, is set to reopen Tuesday morning.

The entrance gate to the North Rim is scheduled to open at 6 a.m. local time Tuesday, following the reopening of Highway 89A and Arionza Route 67. The North Rim will open for day use only, and visitors are encouraged to be self-sufficient as services may be limited on the Kaibab Plateau following the Mangum Fire.

The North Rim Visitor Center and campground will remain closed until further notice. The Grand Canyon Lodge, food and beverage services, general store, trail rides, gift shop, and the Grand Canyon Conservancy bookstore will remain closed, with opening dates yet to be determined. The North Rim Backcountry Information Center is open; however, no new backcountry permits will be issued. 

Stage 2 fire restrictions remain in effect for all of Grand Canyon National Park. They specify that campfires, charcoal, or wood-fueled flames are banned. Gasoline or propane stoves remain allowed, if operated in an area clear of vegetation. Smoking is prohibited, except within an enclosed vehicle or building, a developed recreation site, or while stopped in an area at least three feet in diameter that is barren or cleared of all flammable material. 

On June 12 the North Rim of the park closed due to the Mangum Fire. The Mangum Fire is not within Grand Canyon National Park and the fire is still actively being suppressed utilizing a full suppression strategy. The Mangum Fire is currently 71,450 acres with 51 percent containment. For complete fire information, visit https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/6748/.

Support National Parks Traveler

Your support for the National Parks Traveler comes at a time when news organizations are finding it hard, if not impossible, to stay in business. Traveler's work is vital. For nearly two decades we've provided essential coverage of national parks and protected areas. With the Trump administration’s determination to downsize the federal government, and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum’s approach to public lands focused on energy exploration, it’s clear the Traveler will have much to cover in the months and years ahead. We know of no other news organization that provides such broad coverage of national parks and protected areas on a daily basis. Your support is greatly appreciated.
