(The Center Square) - Grand Canyon National Park announced the reopening date for an area that experienced one of the largest fires in Arizona’s history. The park said its North Rim will reopen at 6 a.m. May 15. The North Rim was hit by the Dragon Bravo Fire, which burned 145,504 acres in the park after lightning started it on July 4, 2025. It continued to burn until it was 100% contained by late September. The North Rim partially reopened in the same month, but was closed again Nov. 14. The reopening date “was based on meeting minimum operational and safety conditions following the Dragon Bravo Fire," said Joelle Baird, a spokesperson for the Grand Canyon National Park. She said this included “ensuring access, basic sanitation, emergency response capability, and overall visitor safety.” “Ongoing assessments of post-fire hazards such as debris flows, hazard trees, and infrastructure stability — also informed the timing," Baird said, answering The Center Square's questions by email. "The National Park Service is taking a phased approach, reopening what is safe and feasible while continuing recovery efforts." She noted the number of visitors going to the North Rim “is to differ from pre-fire levels due to limited services and a focus on day-use opportunities.” “While the North Rim remains a highly valued destination, reduced amenities and infrastructure will likely influence visitation patterns this season,” she said. Before the Dragon Bravo Fire, the North Rim saw 500,000 visitors yearly, which accounted for 10% of the park’s visitors. When the North Rim reopens, its paved roadways will be accessible, allowing scenic drives to Point Imperial, Cape Royal, Roosevelt Point, Walhalla Overlook and Angels Window. The North Kaibab Trail, which the National Park Service describes as the “most difficult of the major inner canyon trails at the park, will reopen for foot traffic only. Baird told The Center Square that visitors should “expect a limited-services environment, including no potable water, fuel, lodging, or consistent power.” “Access will be phased, and some areas may remain closed due to ongoing recovery work or safety concerns. These conditions are directly related to fire impacts and the need to prioritize public safety and resource protection,” she said. On top of limited services, Baird also said “visitors will notice significantly fewer services and amenities.” “The 2026 season will focus on scenic drives, viewpoints, and access to trails like the North Kaibab Trail, but without many of the facilities traditionally available,” the spokesperson said. “The landscape itself has also changed, offering a visible look at post-fire recovery and new growth across the North Rim,” she noted. Baird called the reopening in 2026 an “important step in informing that long-term vision, with an emphasis on resilience, sustainability, and improved visitor experience over time.” “The fire has reshaped long-term planning efforts, prompting a comprehensive approach to rebuilding infrastructure and rethinking visitor services,” she said. According to Baird, this includes “planning for replacement of critical utilities, future lodging, and operational facilities through a formal planning and public engagement process.”

(The Center Square) – Illinois’ ban on conversion therapy may be challenged in the near future. Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 8-1 against a similar prohibition in Colorado. Justices said the state does not have constitutional authority to restrict professional conversations of therapists and counselors licensed by the state. Chicago attorney John Mauck said the state has no business telling counselors they can help people go gay, but they can’t help them go straight. “I found it particularly important that the two liberal judges who joined the majority said you just can't have an uneven playing field,” Mauck said. Mauck worked to secure a 2017 ruling – Pastors Protecting Youth, et al. v. Madigan – that the Illinois ban did not apply to pastors. State Rep. Kelly Cassidy, D-Chicago, condemned the high court’s decision. “As the lead sponsor on the state’s 11-year-old ban on the unethical practice of conversion abuse at the hands of medical professionals, I remain committed to ensuring that our state continues to lead the way in finding ways to protect our LGBTQ+ community from increasingly aggressive federal attacks on state laws protecting the community,” Cassidy said in a statement. The Chicago Democrat said the Illinois prohibition is not directly impacted by this decision, although she indicated she would work with advocates to prepare for future decisions. Cassidy’s office did not reply to The Center Square’s request for an interview. Mauck said he expects the Illinois law to ruled unconstitutional. “Free speech rights go to all counselors in a situation like this, and they override the Illinois prohibition, in my opinion. That’s what happened in Colorado, and I think the courts will follow that exactly in Illinois and say that counselors are now free to counsel people who want help getting a straight heterosexual orientation,” Mauck told The Center Square. Mauck said he thinks most counselors would wait for a court ruling in Illinois before beginning therapy, but he said they could begin now if they are confident the law is unconstitutional. “There are a lot of counselors who want to help people go straight, and one of them is probably going to challenge the Illinois law, I imagine, in the next few weeks or a couple months,” Mauck said. Jonathan Bilyk contributed to this story.
