Grand Canyon National Park officials say the park could exceed last year’s record of more than 5 million visitors but advocates are worried about the park’s infrastructure.
The park has more than $300 million in deferred maintenance projects.
According to Cronkite News, one park advocate says the water system is a major source of concern. A Grand Canyon official says repairs are being made sections at a time, and the park will be ready as the National Park Service celebrates its centennial.
