The Grand Canyon Lodge opened in 1937 and was the only hotel located inside Grand Canyon National Park on the North Rim.

A wildfire on the Grand Canyon’s North Rim has consumed some 5,000 acres and destroyed between 50 and 80 structures, including National Park Service administrative buildings, visitor facilities, a gas station and a water treatment plant.

Grand Canyon National Park's North Rim was evacuated and will remain closed for the rest of the season because of the Arizona fires.
