Grand Canyon Lifts Stage 2 Fire Restrictions on the South Rim
Grand Canyon National Park lifted Stage 2 fire restrictions on the South Rim effective immediately on November 4, the park said; they had been imposed because little water was available for fighting fires, and continued water hauling now supplements the South Rim's supply. Stage 1 restrictions remain on the South Rim, and campfires at Mather Campground are allowed only in established fire rings. Stage 4 water conservation measures also stay in place, so bring your own water. On the North Rim, Stage 2 restrictions remain for the rest of the 2026 season.
