Update on North Rim Fires: What Grand Canyon River Guests Need to Know

We understand there’s growing concern around the recent fires on the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park, and we want to provide clarity and peace of mind for our guests.

River Trips Are Running as Scheduled

At this time, our river expeditions are not affected by the fires. The active fires are located on the North Rim, which is away from the river corridor where our trips take place. While some smoke may be present depending on wind patterns, the river itself remains safe and accessible, and no trips have been canceled.

We Are Monitoring Closely

Grand Canyon Expeditions is in regular communication with the National Park Service and other agencies monitoring the situation. If conditions change and impact operations, we will contact guests directly.

Bus Routes Adjusted This Week

Currently, our transportation is rerouting through Page, Arizona due to a temporary road closure over the Kaibab Plateau. We are hopeful that the road will reopen soon and will adjust logistics as needed to ensure your trip starts smoothly.

Fire Activity in the Region

It’s important to note that wildfires are a natural and recurring part of life in the Southwest. While the current fires are receiving widespread attention, this type of activity is not unusual for the area during the summer months.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. We know how much guests look forward to their river experience, and we’re committed to keeping you informed and safe. If you have questions, please feel free to reach out directly. For the latest official updates, you can also visit the National Park Service website.
