NPS Opens Public Comment Period on North Rim Recovery Plan

The National Park Service has launched a 30‑day public involvement period starting Oct. 6, 2026 to shape the long‑term recovery and redevelopment of the Grand Canyon's North Rim. The effort follows the 2025 Dragon Bravo Fire and recent flash floods that highlighted the need for resilient infrastructure, reliable utilities, and improved emergency preparedness in the remote area. Hunters are urged to weigh in on access, safety, and wildlife habitat as the park plans upgrades to roads, campsites, and utility systems. Comments can be submitted online through the NPS website during the open comment period.
