A wildfire in Grand Canyon National Park destroyed the historic Grand Canyon Lodge, along with 50-80 other structures. The lodge, a National Historic Landmark, was rebuilt once before after a 1932 fire. The North Rim will remain closed for the rest of the 2025 season. No injuries were reported, but the loss is mourned by locals and visitors alike. Governor Katie Hobbs has called for an investigation into the wildfire's handling. The future of the lodge's reconstruction remains uncertain.
