Grand Canyon South Rim: Open, Safe, and Ready for Visitors
While recent wildfires have impacted areas of the North Rim, the South Rim — including the Grand Canyon IMAX Theater — remains completely open, safe, and unaffected.
The North and South Rims are separated by over 200 miles by road. What affects one does not necessarily affect the other. Currently, there are no fire threats or threatening air quality issues impacting the South Rim area.
🌬️ Air Quality is Fair to Low
Air quality at the South Rim remains fair to low. This states that it could be unhealthy for sensitive groups. We monitor official data closely, and there are no advisories or restrictions in place for visitors.
