The National Park Service (NPS) has identified the cause of a recent power outage affecting the North Rim as an equipment failure involving a transformer near the Grand Canyon Lodge. Power has been out at the Grand Canyon Lodge since approximately 7 p.m. on Sunday, June 1.

Overnight reservations were cancelled starting the evening of June 2 due to the outage. The National Park Service appreciates visitors’ patience and understanding as we continue working closely with the concessioner to restore lodging and food services to full operations.

Since the outage began, NPS crews have worked diligently around heavy rain and lightning storms to restore power to concessioner facilities, including the General Store, fuel station, campground showers and laundry, the North Rim Campground, employee housing, and other administrative areas.

The NPS Campground and Backcountry Information Kiosk, Ranger Roost (info desk), Scenic Viewpoints, and the North Kaibab Trail remain open and accessible. Evening programs will be located at the North Rim Campground until power is restored to the Grand Canyon Lodge. The Grand Canyon Conservancy Store is also expected to be open.
