Wildfire Erupts Below Grand Canyon's North Rim

The U.S. Wildland Fire Service is working to contain the Cliff Spring Fire, which is currently burning 171 acres of grass, brush, pinyon pine, and juniper below the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park. There are no trail or area closures at this time, but the park has paused issuing permits for trips in the Walhalla Plateau area as a precautionary measure.
