Select Inner Canyon Trails Reopen in Grand Canyon National Park GRAND CANYON, Ariz. – Hikers can once again explore several inner-canyon trails. These trails have reopened following repairs after trail damage caused by recent flooding. The South Kaibab Trail below The Tipoff and the entire River Trail, connecting the South Kaibab to the Bright Angel Trail, has reopened to hikers. The Bright Angel Trail between Mile-and-a-Half Resthouse and Havasupai Gardens has reopened to hikers only. This section will remain closed to stock use as crews continue to repair additional trail damage. Trail crews will continue technical repairs along the Bright Angel Trail. Hikers should expect intermittent closures and delays and should follow crew instructions and posted signs. Be aware that closure times may change with little notice. Hikers should allow extra time and be prepared for slower travel. Water will remain off at Mile-and-a-Half and Three-Mile Resthouses, as well as at Havasupai Gardens for the remainder of the winter season. Hikers must bring all their own water, along with appropriate filtration or water treatment equipment. Hikers are reminded to plan carefully for their trips, carry adequate supplies and be prepared for changes in conditions. Emergency response times may be delayed in the inner canyon, and rescue is not guaranteed. Hikers should assess their abilities, prepare for changing conditions and understand the risks before beginning their trip. The Black Bridge, Silver Bridge, Phantom Ranch and the entire North Kaibab Trail remain closed. These closures are in place to protect public safety while recovery and assessment efforts continue. Visitors who enter closed areas in violation of the park closure order may be cited. Before visiting, hikers should check the park’s Key Hiking Messages webpage for current trail conditions, water availability, closures and other important safety information. go.nps.gov/gc-hkm (16134) NPS Photo - South Kaibab Trail below Cedar Ridge.

Mission-critical and always connected. 📡⚡ Behind every coordinated emergency response is reliable communication. DEMA’s Communications Section manages the vital voice and data networks that power the State Emergency Operations Center and its mobile command units.

My thoughts are with the Heber-Overgaard community after a reported tornado. My administration is actively coordinating with Navajo County Emergency Management on sheltering and support. I am grateful for the first responders on site who are assisting the impacted area.  We stand ready to deploy resources to assess damage, and I’ve directed DEMA, DPS and ADOT to work hand-in-hand with county officials on recovery efforts.

Election integrity is essential so voters can vote confidently. Casting doubt on our election system and misrepresenting the work of election workers erodes trust in our elections. Read the full statement from Chair @KateMcGeeAZ & Vice Chair @DebbieLesko:
