Tusayan remains open as Grand Canyon flood recovery continues
September 2, 2026
The town of Tusayan remains open and fully operational as recovery efforts continue after recent flooding damaged infrastructure in parts of Grand Canyon National Park, town officials said Monday.
The flooding affected portions of the park, including the inner canyon, but Tusayan has not sustained damage and local hotels, restaurants, shops, attractions and visitor services remain open, officials said.
Grand Canyon National Park South Rim lodging and concessions within park boundaries have implemented Stage 4 water restrictions and halted overnight accommodations on Aug. 31 until further notice. Recent flooding damaged infrastructure in the Grand Canyon’s inner canyon, including the Transcanyon Waterline, which is out of service.
The park is conserving water while assessing damage and working to maintain available supplies. The South Rim remains open for day use, and food and beverage services, the Grand Canyon Clinic, the post office, public restrooms and essential health and safety services remain available.
Tusayan continues to offer overnight accommodations and visitor amenities outside park boundaries. Officials said visitors can still access hotels, campgrounds, RV parks, restaurants, coffee shops, tour services, trails and horseback riding in the town.
Town officials said they are working with local partners to monitor conditions and provide accurate public information as recovery efforts continue.
“The Town of Tusayan is deeply saddened by the impacts of the recent flooding at Grand Canyon National Park,” the town said in a statement. “We stand with our partners, neighbors and the Grand Canyon community and are committed to supporting recovery efforts in any way we can.”
