Associated Press
GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK, Ariz. — Motorized access to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon ends for the season next week.
The Arizona Department of Transportation will close State Route 67, the roadway leading to the North Rim.
Most North Rim facilities closed on October 15.
However, scenic roadways and overlooks, as well as gas stations, camping and gift and book stores have remained open in order to provide basic services until the road closes for the season.
State Route 67 and all services on the North Rim are expected to reopen next May.
South Rim facilities and the inner canyon remain open year-round.
The North Rim campground will still be available for winter camping and is accessible by inner canyon trails from the South Rim or by cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.
