Phantom Ranch reopens today! Crews repaired the damaged section of the Transcanyon Waterline and began pumping water again on December 8. South Rim water tanks are slowly refilling, and if that progress continues, we expect to reopen South Rim lodges in the near future.

All existing water and fire restrictions remain in effect. This includes:

·     No overnight lodging inside the park

·     Dry camping only (no spigot access at Mather Campground)

·     No outdoor wood or charcoal fires

·     Continued conservation measures for residents and employees
