Grand Canyon Hotels Shut Due to Waterline Breaks
News summary

Grand Canyon National Park has shut down overnight hotel stays due to multiple significant breaks in the aging Transcanyon Waterline, leading to Stage 4 water restrictions. The pipeline, built in the 1960s and now beyond its lifespan, has suffered over 85 major breaks since 2010, but the recent breaks have caused an unprecedented disruption. Affected facilities include El Tovar, Bright Angel Lodge, Maswik Lodge, Phantom Ranch, and Yavapai Lodge, with nearly 1000 reservations canceled over the Labor Day weekend. Daytime access to the park and camping with limited water resources will continue, but fire restrictions are in place. Hotels in nearby Tusayan remain open, and a $208 million upgrade to the pipeline is underway, expected to be completed by 2027.
