The historic Grand Canyon Lodge, located in Grand Canyon National Park’s North Rim, was destroyed by fire. Seventy buildings, 8000 acres, a gas station, and a campground had been consumed by the ongoing wildfires, forcing the park’s North Rim to be closed by Federal Authorities.
Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs is calling for a federal investigation into the cause of the fires. The Grand Canyon lodge posted the following message on its website:
As stewards of some of our country’s most beloved national treasures, we are devastated by the loss of the Grand Canyon Lodge and numerous other historic buildings at the Grand Canyon’s North Rim. We are grateful that all our employees and guests have been safely evacuated, and we join the National Park Service in mourning the loss of these iconic and beloved structures.
We are deeply grateful to all who have chosen Grand Canyon Lodge as their base camp for exploration and adventure. Each guest helped make Grand Canyon Lodge more than just a destination, but a place filled with lifelong memories. It is with heavy hearts that we share this devastating news.
