Origin: Flooding Closes Grand Canyon Hotels Temporarily
All Grand Canyon National Park hotels and lodges closed at noon on Aug. 31. The shutdown followed the Aug. 29 flash flood and damage in the inner canyon, including to the Transcanyon Waterline and other infrastructure. Water restrictions were already in place on the South Rim.
The flood left at least one person dead near Bright Angel Canyon and Phantom Ranch and more than a dozen missing as of Aug. 30. Other totals put the death toll at two. Helicopters evacuated 62 people. The park also halted other concessions, including hotel services, and no reopening date was given.
