Grand Canyon Operational Updates
The latest information on the status of Grand Canyon National Park
Grand Canyon remains open and welcoming visitors, and all South Rim lodging services are fully restored. The park is now under Stage 3 Water Restrictions as a conservation measure, and no open fires are permitted. Propane grills at Trailer Village RV Park are still permitted.
Camper Services and Mather Camp Store are closed, and backcountry hikers should plan to carry all their water or methods to treat water.
Grand Canyon North Rim Updates
The North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park will reopen to the public at 6 a.m. on May 15, 2026, with all paved roads—including Highway 67, Cape Royal, and Point Imperial Roads—accessible for scenic drives to popular viewpoints like Point Imperial and Cape Royal. The North Kaibab Trail will also reopen for hiking (foot traffic only), though visitors should expect possible delays or temporary closures due to ongoing maintenance, post-fire conditions, and weather. Cottonwood Campground will be available for overnight stays, and most backcountry areas will be open, while the North Rim Campground will reopen later in the season as conditions allow. Please note that lodging will not be available within the park on the North Rim in 2026, but fuel, food, and water are available at the North Rim Country Store and Jacob Lake.
