Check current park conditions before traveling.
Official details →South Rim overnight accommodations are closed, and only dry camping is permitted under Stage 4 water restrictions. - Stage 4 began August 31 at noon because extensive flash-flood damage made the Transcanyon Waterline nonoperational; conserve water during your visit. - The park remains open for day use, with food and beverage services, the Grand Canyon Clinic, and Post Office remaining open. Check current park conditions before traveling.
Official details →Vehicles over 22 feet in total length cannot use Cape Royal Road or the North Rim Scenic Drive. - This includes RVs over 22 feet and vehicle-trailer combinations over 22 feet total length. - The restriction exists because these are narrow, windy roads with blind corners. Use another vehicle or make alternate plans for access to Cape Royal and Point Imperial. Check current park road conditions before traveling.
