Wildfire threatens Grand Canyon's North Rim
Digest more
The Dragon Bravo Fire has shut down the North Rim of the Grand Canyon for the rest of the 2025 season, but there's still plenty to do if you have a trip planned up north.
The Dragon Bravo Fire started on July 4 and was managed at first as a controlled burn. Then the wind picked up, and it quickly became uncontrollable.
As of Monday, the Dragon Bravo fire on the North Rim had consumed more than 5,700 acres and was not contained, according to the U.S. Forest Service.
The Dragon Bravo Fire has destroyed dozens of structures and a water treatment facility, and the White Sage Fire, located in Kaibab National Forest, has forced hundreds to evacuate.
The lightning-caused wildfire that consumed roughly 70 structures seemed unremarkable for days. High winds changed that.
