Area Information: The North Rim District is located on the rim of the Grand Canyon amidst the vast public lands of the Arizona Strip.

It is approximately 20 miles from the South Rim by a strenuous hike through the canyon or a 215-mile drive (about 4 hours). The nearest full-service community is Kanab, Utah, roughly 80 miles away.

At an elevation of about 8,200 feet, the North Rim enjoys a mild summer climate, with daytime highs in the 80s and nighttime lows in the 50s.

Historically, the North Rim welcomed around 500,000 visitors between May 15 and October 15.

The area featured a robust concession operation, including the historic Grand Canyon Lodge, guest cabins, a general store, post office, gas station, campground, and mule ride concession.

In July 2025, the Dragon Bravo Fire significantly impacted the North Rim, burning over 145,000 acres.

This resulted in the loss of key infrastructure, including the historic lodge, visitor center, and multiple administrative and housing facilities.

As a result, most of the North Rim was closed for the remainder of the 2025 season, and all visitor services were suspended.

Recovery efforts are ongoing, with a focus on emergency stabilization, cultural resource protection, and long-term restoration planning.

Despite these challenges, the North Rim remains a vital part of Grand Canyon National Park.

Employees working in or for this district will be part of a dedicated team contributing to the recovery and reimagining of a treasured landscape.

The post-fire environment presents unique opportunities for innovation, stewardship, and resilience.

Recreational opportunities in the region remain abundant, including hiking, running, climbing, canyoneering, rafting, road and mountain biking, and skiing.

Nearby destinations such as Zion National Park, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Vermilion Cliffs National Monument, and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument are all within a half-day's drive.

Employees are assigned quarters-possibly shared-in a cabin, apartment, or house. Due to limited housing, shared quarters may not accommodate family members or pets.
