State Route 67 in northern Arizona reopens after winter closure

PHOENIX – State Route 67 between Jacob Lake and the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park reopened Friday, May 15, after its annual winter closure, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.

For information on when visitors will be able to access the North Rim, please visit the Grand Canyon National Park website at nps.gov/grca.

With the park’s North Rim facilities closing each winter and the area receiving an average of 9 feet of snowfall each year, ADOT closes the 40-plus-mile highway just south of US 89A in early December unless conditions warrant an earlier closure.
