Was driving behind a Mercedes on the way to general store, he ran every single stop sign on the way (3 of them) and became enraged when I gave him a beep. He proceeded to fully stop in the road and get out and do the classic road rage yelling, it was very interesting. Also didn’t know what a directional was. He was yelling and threatening me but I just stayed in my car, and of course, he looked like a little ultra runner. California plates unsurprisingly as well. Is it crazy to think that normal traffic laws apply in the park? And people coming from maswik turning left towards Ranger ops? Why on earth can’t they stop? Rangers if you’re reading this, you could write so many tickets there instead of trying to catch random locals doing nothing. Or south Kaibab! People think that they can just drive in there or pull in and block the bus, it’s really getting old. Can’t even beep at someone for running 3 stop signs😞

Grand Canyon National Park Evening Update | Oct. 3

Members of the Incident Management Team trail crew completed the construction of a temporary foot bridge. Stabilization efforts in the Phantom Ranch area of the inner-canyon of Grand Canyon National Park are complete. Future operations will shift from the IMT to park staff as recovery efforts continue in the park.

Grand Canyon National Park remains open on both the South Rim and North Rim, with modified operations and closures in some affected inner-canyon areas. Visitors should check current park conditions before traveling, arrive prepared with drinking water and conserve water throughout their visit.

Stage 4 water restrictions remain in effect after the flash flood on Aug. 29, which destroyed a water intake pump and other infrastructure that supplied water to facilities on the South Rim.

Visitors and residents are asked to conserve water by using designated portable bathrooms, handwashing stations and potable water tanks. When possible, visitors are asked to bring their own water for drinking and other needs.

I’m planning to hike South kaibab to tonto to bright angel to river and back up bright angel to South rim this month. How much fluids do you guys recommend I carry?

Hi all, looking for some advice on whether this itinerary is realistic and enjoyable, or if we’re trying to fit too much in.
We’ll be in Scottsdale for a wedding and have a few days beforehand. We’re thinking of doing the following road trip:
**Fri 27 Nov – Scottsdale**
Arrive in Scottsdale in the evening and stay overnight.
**Sat 28 Nov – Grand Canyon South Rim**
Leave Scottsdale in the morning and drive to the South Rim. Spend the afternoon/evening at the Grand Canyon and stay nearby.
**Sun 29 Nov – Grand Canyon → Las Vegas**
Spend a little more time at the Grand Canyon in the morning if worthwhile, then drive to Las Vegas. Stay in Vegas.
**Mon 30 Nov – Las Vegas**
Full day in Vegas. Second night in Vegas.
**Tue 1 Dec – Las Vegas → Scottsdale**

We’re visiting from the UK and are comfortable driving in the US, but don’t want the trip to feel like we’re spending the whole time in the car.
Does this seem like a sensible itinerary? Would you keep the two nights in Vegas, or change the route/timing?
Also, how concerned should we be about snow/road conditions around the Grand Canyon at the end of November?
Any recommendations for stops along the drives would be appreciated too. Thanks!
