The North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park has reopened to the public for the summer/NPS file

The North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park reopened to the public Friday for day use, with limited visitor services and water conservation measures due to a break in the North Rim water pipeline. The National Park Service recommends that visitors bring their own drinking water and food with them.   

The North Rim General store, gas station and post office are open, along with Grand Canyon Conservancy's Park Store in the Visitor Center. Store hours are 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. A variety of park ranger programs are being offered daily. The backcountry information center, in the North Rim Administration Building, will be open 8 a.m. to noon, and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. daily.  

North Rim scenic roads to Cape Royal and Point Imperial have reopened to the public, along with vehicle access to the Widforss Trailhead. Roads extending beyond the Widforss Trailhead are scheduled to reopen to the public on July 1.    

The North Rim Campground, managed by the National Park Service, will reopen on June 9 with potable drinking water and toilets available. The shower and laundry facility remains closed at this time. The North Kaibab Trail between the North Kaibab Trailhead and Manzanita Rest Area will reopen on June 16.

Due to water conservation measures, overnight accommodations at Grand Canyon Lodge will not be available until the water pipeline has been repaired, approximately July 23, 2023. 

Just north of the park boundary, visitor services are available at Kaibab Lodge and North Rim Country Store.
