News Release—Grand Canyon National Park Announces 2026 North Rim Summer Season Access

Grand Canyon National Park will welcome visitors back to the North Rim for the 2026 summer season beginning at 6 a.m. on Friday, May 15, 2026.

All paved roadways within the park will reopen, including Highway 67, Cape Royal, and Point Imperial Roads. These scenic drives provide access to many of the North Rim’s iconic viewpoints, including Point Imperial, Cape Royal, Roosevelt Point, Walhalla Overlook, and Angels Window.

The entire North Kaibab Trail will reopen May 15 for foot traffic only; stock use is suspended for the season. Trail maintenance and rehabilitation work will continue along the North Kaibab Trail throughout the 2026 season. Hikers should anticipate temporary trail closures or delays while crews continue to repair the trail. Post-fire hazards and weather events may also result in additional closures.

Backcountry users will also see some services return this year. Cottonwood Campground will reopen on May 15, providing an overnight option for hikers traveling along the North Kaibab Trail. Backcountry use will be permitted in most areas of the North Rim.

The North Rim Campground is expected to reopen for tent and RV camping (no hookups) once conditions allow. Campsite reservations will be made available on recreation.gov once an opening date is established.

For those seeking overnight accommodations, lodging is available outside the park. Overnight lodging will not be available on the North Rim in the park during the 2026 season. The nearest fuel, food, and water is available at the North Rim Country Store and at Jacob Lake.
