Road to Grand Canyon's North Rim to reopen May 15

Advertiser staff

The main roadway leading to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon is set to reopen for the summer season on May 15.

Grand Canyon National Park officials closed Arizona State Route 67 on Dec. 1 for the winter season. Most facilities at the North Rim closed on Oct. 15.

All the facilities, including the historic Grand Canyon Lodge North Rim, will also reopen on May 15.

Rim operations also include camping, camper services, food services, groceries and a service station. Park rangers present daily programs.

The more popular South Rim of the canyon remains open year-round.
