Grand Canyon's Phantom Ranch will be closed for three months early next year/NPS file

Construction of the Transcanyon Waterline at Grand Canyon National Park will require the closure of Phantom Ranch from January 2-March 30.

A park newsletter said the closure is necessary as the contractor will be doing extensive excavation work there.

As a reminder, the other current inner canyon closure dates due to the pipeline's construction are:

  • Bright Angel Trail north of Havasupai Gardens and the Silver Bridge: Oct 21, 2024 - May 14, 2025
  • Bright Angel Campground: Nov 4, 2024 - May 14, 2025
  • Plateau Point Trail from the Tonto Trail Junction north of Havasupai Gardens to Plateau Point: Oct. 12, 2023 - May 14, 2025

These closures are necessary to ensure the safety of staff and visitors during the pipeline's construction work. The upper portion of the Bright Angel Trail, from the South Rim to Havasupai Gardens, and the Tonto Trail will remain open. The South Kaibab Trail will also be open for all hikers. No hikers or trail users will be allowed to pass through closure areas under any circumstances.

This appears th be false, at least as far as the Phantom Ranch website reports on Monday morning 9/23. Please either cite specific sources or correct this article. 


Well, Bxdik, we pointed to the source in the first three words of the second graph, and while we can't imagine why we'd make up this story, here's an image of the newsletter:






According to Xanterra, which manages Phantom Ranch, there are no planned closures at this time.
