When Was The Grand Canyon Lodge Built? Historic Landmark Burnt Down By Dragon Bravo Wildfire

Grand Canyon Lodge on the North Rim of Grand Canyon is often the first prominent feature that visitors see, even before viewing the canyon. The highway ends at the lodge. The lodge’s sloped roof, huge ponderosa beams and massive limestone facade fit its 8000-foot / 2400 m setting. (Credit: Grand Canyon National Park/Flickr)

It is a heartbreaking day for visitors and conservationists alike. The Grand Canyon Lodge, a cherished historic landmark on the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona, was lost to a fast-moving wildfire.

The National Park Service confirmed on July 13, 2025, that the lodge, along with dozens of nearby structures, was consumed by the rapidly advancing Dragon Bravo Fire.
