Due to wildfires, all trails, wilderness routes, roads, and campgrounds are closed until further notice.
Hiking at Black Canyon
Many trails pass by steep dropoffs, so be cautious and keep a close watch on children. From late fall through mid-spring, drinking water is NOT available in the park.
Hikers should be aware that limited cattle grazing is permitted on the North Rim. Please keep cattle gates closed should you encounter them.
BE BEAR AWARE. Bears have made amazing efforts to obtain hikers' snacks. A bear that becomes habituated to humans and their food will ultimately need to be destroyed. Keep your backpack within arms reach at all times.
