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.
