Yes, Grand Canyon is open 🌅

While lodging inside the park is temporarily closed as repairs are made to the Transcanyon Waterline, the South Rim remains open and welcomes visitors.

That means you can still take in the breathtaking views, explore the museums and visitor centers, and experience the wonder of Grand Canyon’s South Rim—all while staying outside the park.

Consider this your reminder: Grand Canyon is open, and there’s plenty to see. ❤️

Same park. Two completely different worlds.

The Story of Two Climates. 🌵

At Grand Canyon, elevation creates dramatic changes in climate and ecosystems. The South Rim’s higher elevation brings cooler temperatures and forests of ponderosa pine. Descend into the canyon, and temperatures rise as the landscape becomes increasingly dry and desert-like.

By the time you reach the Colorado River, you can be thousands of feet lower, and in a remarkably different environment. The canyon floor is typically closer in temperature to Phoenix, while the rim is 20-30 degrees cooler on average.

Along the way, elevation influences temperature, vegetation, and wildlife, creating a series of ecosystems within one immense canyon. The deeper you go, the more the world changes. ☀️

The Stories of Grand Canyon wouldn’t be complete without the animals that call it home.

This is The Story of the Wildlife. 🦅

Grand Canyon is more than breathtaking views, it’s a living landscape filled with stories written in paw prints, feathers, and tracks. From the riverbanks to the canyon rims, an incredible variety of wildlife has adapted to life in diverse environment.

In the forests and meadows along the rim, you’ll likely find elk grazing the landscape. High above, you may be lucky enough to spot one of Grand Canyon’s most remarkable residents: the California condor. With a wingspan that can reach nearly 10 feet, these magnificent birds soar effortlessly above the canyon’s walls.

But elk and condors are only a small part of the larger story. Mule deer, bighorn sheep, foxes, squirrels, ravens, lizards, and countless other species make their homes throughout Grand Canyon’s vast ecosystems.

Every creature plays a role in this extraordinary place. Every sighting is a reminder that the story of Grand Canyon isn’t just written in its rocks—it’s alive all around us, and still being written. 🌄

Visiting Grand Canyon used to mean days of travel by horse and buggy, but tourism changed forever on September 23, 1901 when the first passenger train arrived in Grand Canyon Village.

Welcome to The Story of the Grand Canyon Railway. 🚂

The Grand Canyon Railway transformed the journey, opening this extraordinary landscape to far more visitors. The canyon became more accessible, connecting travelers from across the country to one of America’s most awe-inspiring places. What had once been a long, rugged journey became a more comfortable and convenient way to experience the canyon.

The railroad didn’t just carry passengers. It helped shape the future of Grand Canyon tourism. More than 120 years later, its legacy lives on.

Long before Instagram, there were two brothers who helped spread the breathtaking views of Grand Canyon.

This is The Story of the Kolb Brothers. 📸

At the Grand Canyon, brothers Ellsworth and Emery Kolb used photography to document the canyon and the people who came to experience it. Their images traveled far beyond the rim, helping introduce Grand Canyon to audiences across the country and fueling a growing fascination with this remarkable place.

Their photographs didn’t just capture the canyon—they captured the experience of being there. In an era before feeds, likes, and shares, the Kolb Brothers helped bring Grand Canyon into the homes of people who had never seen it for themselves, generating interest to see it in person.

Today, we’re still using photos to share the stories and sights of Grand Canyon…just with fewer glass plates and considerably more emojis. 😉

The Stories of Grand Canyon continue with , and today we celebrate the woman whose vision helped define the way generations have experienced this extraordinary place.

This is The Story of Mary Colter. 🏜️

Long before the Grand Canyon became a destination for millions, one woman was shaping how visitors experienced it. Mary Colter, a pioneering architect and designer, spent decades creating some of Grand Canyon’s most iconic landmarks, including Hopi House, Hermit’s Rest, Lookout Studio, and Desert View Watchtower.

Inspired by the landscapes, cultures, and people of the Southwest, Colter designed buildings that feel like they belong to the Canyon itself. Her work didn’t simply overlook the Grand Canyon—it became part of its enduring story. 🌄

This , we’re celebrating the people, moments and journeys that have shaped Grand Canyon’s story. As the National Park Service celebrates its 110th birthday, we’re looking back at an early chapter in Grand Canyon’s history: The Story of John Wesley Powell.

In 1869, John Wesley Powell and a small crew of explorers entered Grand Canyon with no way of knowing what waited around the next bend.

The river was uncertain. The rapids were unpredictable. And for European-American explorers, much of the canyon remained a “great unknown.”

What they did know was that they had to keep going. Powell recorded the crew’s journey, with detailed descriptions of the canyon’s ecosystem, geography, and native peoples. This historic three-month journey became the first recorded voyage down the Colorado River.

More than 150 years later, we’re still discovering new stories in this remarkable place. 🌄

The Story of Becoming a National Park 🌄

Our celebrations continue with the Stories of Grand Canyon—and today, we’re looking at the story of how this incredible place became a national park.

But Grand Canyon’s story began long before 1919.

For more than 10,000 years, Indigenous peoples have lived in and cared for this landscape. Today, the National Park Service recognizes Grand Canyon as the ancestral homeland of 11 present-day Tribal Communities.

The canyon’s story continued through European exploration, prospecting and mining in the late 1800s, and the rise of tourism. As mining proved challenging, many prospectors turned their attention to welcoming visitors. A new chapter began as tourism took focus for the Grand Canyon region.

As interest in Grand Canyon grew, so did efforts to ensure its remarkable landscapes would endure for generations to come. In 1919, Grand Canyon officially became a national park. 🎉

More than a century later, its legend continues through modern-day tourism. From unique tours and stellar stargazing to diverse trails, breathtaking viewpoints, and historic landmarks, Grand Canyon’s story is still being written.
