The Grand Canyon Lodge in far northern Arizona that was an elusive getaway for nearly a century has been destroyed by a wildfire.

A historic lodge and dozens of other structures on the Grand Canyon’s North Rim have been destroyed by a fast-moving wildfire, prompting officials to close access to the area.

The Dragon Bravo wildfire, one of two fires north of the canyon, burned down the historic Grand Canyon Lodge and nearby cabins July 13. The lodge was the only hotel inside the park's North Rim. The Dragon Bravo fire, which was triggered by lightning July 4, has consumed an estimated 5,000 acres.
