Wildfires have inflicted significant damage on Grand Canyon National Park, leading to the destruction of the historic Grand Canyon Lodge on the North Rim. The lodge, a cherished retreat for travelers for nearly a century, was lost to the flames amid ongoing wildfires in Arizona that have prompted evacuations and raised concerns about the management of fire containment. Satellite images depict the extensive burn area, with fires threatening additional structures and tourism in the region. Local officials and residents express heartbreak over the loss, and there are calls for investigations into the federal response and forest management practices.
