On July 12, 2025, the lodge on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon was burned down in the Dragon Bravo fire, along with dozens of other structures including the North Rim visitor center and numerous guest cabins. The lodge was a storied structure that had stood for nearly 100 years, but it wasn’t the first time that a lodge on the North Rim burned down.
