North Rim Reopens for Summer 2026

A quieter, rarer side of the Grand Canyon returns this summer. The North Rim is scheduled to reopen for the 2026 season on May 15, welcoming visitors back after the 2025 Dragon Bravo Fire.

This season offers something different. With fewer services and lighter visitation, it’s a chance to experience the North Rim in a more reflective state and see firsthand how the landscape is recovering.

Visitors can expect access to select scenic drives, viewpoints, and trails, with use focused mainly on day trips and limited backcountry opportunities. Services will be very limited, so planning ahead is essential. Potable water, fuel, lodging, and other amenities may be unavailable within the park. Please note that the Grand Canyon Lodge will not be open this season.

The General Store and Gas Station are expected to provide basic supplies along with grab-and-go food and beverages. The North Rim Campground is anticipated to reopen for tent and RV camping (no hookups) as conditions allow, with reservations available through Recreation.gov once confirmed.

As recovery work continues, conditions may change and temporary closures may occur to ensure visitor safety. We encourage visitors to stay informed before arriving.

We look forward to welcoming visitors back to the North Rim this summer.
