North Rim Ranger StationThe ranger station is open intermittently in the summer and closed in the winter. In the summer, maps and newspapers are available on the ranger station porch. The ranger station also has a self-pay station for the park entrance fee and a self-registration kiosk for wilderness permits. WaterIn the summer months, water fill-up stations are available in the campground and at the ranger station. All of the water on the North Rim is trucked in, so we ask that you use the fill-up stations conservatively and be prepared with your own water.
