Re: Grand Canyon Lodge North Rim, Dragon Bravo expansion

@Jim I think 'managed/prescribed' burns should be well-planned, which includes, among other considerations choosing an apt season for them as well as the best low-wind, cool forecast. This fire cause was 'natural' but that is no reason to think July is the best time to 'let-er-rip'. Seems that it s...

Re: Grand Canyon Lodge North Rim, Dragon Bravo expansion

The fire was merely 10 acres by July 7 and 27 acres by July 8, according to Grand Canyon National Park social media posts. Spin as they might to project that it was 'well managed' the facts do not seem on their side.

Re: Grand Canyon Lodge North Rim, Dragon Bravo expansion

Fire makes HUGE run into the Canyon Officials said this morning that the fire has made an unexpected SIX-MILE run into the Grand Canyon since yesterday, and the perimeter is now "a mile, mile-and-a-quarter" from the Colorado River in the Kagunt Drainage. Maps show large areas below the rim...

While looking for a nice campsite with-a-view along the Point Sublime Road I inadvertently camped next to one and did not notice it until the next morning.

Re: Hiker goals: calf size a lifespan indicator

I think they should define where calf stops and cankle begins..... if not, it would likely skew the numbers.

Re: Grand Canyon Lodge North Rim, Dragon Bravo expansion

From what I can gather, besides the “developed area” around the Lodge, these more noteworthy areas fall withing the 'burned' areas on the fire map. Some firsthand, boots-on-the-ground beta would be helpful moving forward, after the areas are given the all-clear. North Kaibab Trail, down to Supai Tun...

Re: Grand Canyon Lodge North Rim, Dragon Bravo expansion

The Dragon Bravo Fire at the Grand Canyon is well on its way to becoming absolutely historic. Since last Tuesday, it's expanded exponentially, quintupling its size from 13,622 acres to 71,005 acres this morning. Containment dropped from 26% to 9%. Yesterday, the fire's pyrocumulus clouds reached a h...

Re: Grand Canyon Lodge North Rim, lost to fire

Seems that in the 9/10 DAYS between the start of the fire and the Lodge burning, that a large portion if not all of the chlorine could have been moved off-site "as a precautionary measure" as they say. The GCNP has water disruptions all the time.. it's not an anomaly, folks are almost grow...

AS in the post...... National Park Service Organic Act (16 U.S.C. l 2 3, and 4) and subsequent acts. Yellowstone has it's own deviations but was impertinent to this thread so I omitted specifically mentioning it. Yellowstone is the exception to the discretionary grazing authorization.

Re: Grand Canyon Lodge North Rim, lost to fire

The fire was being 'managed' by a T3 IMT ... from the 4th/5th until it wasn’t; that was July 13th, when it became an evacuation & all-hands-on-deck operation - but became a 'stand-down' order when the chlorine gas hit the fan. A T3 IMT incident management team, with minimum staffing does not hav...

Re: 2025 Arizona Fire Season

@azbackpackr
Seems logical, therefore not likely for the gubment to implement that the WB 89A closure would be at House Rock Valley Rd. Access to: North Terminus AzT. White Pocket, Buckskin/Wave.from the south, and continues up to 89.

89 closed WB from Jacob Lake to Fredonia. Utah travelers are in for a pretty lengthy work-around. House Rock Valley Road for some... all the way to Page for others.
