Grand Canyon National Park lowers water, fire restrictions

Grand Canyon National Park is reducing its fire and water restrictions.

The park moved from Stage 2 to the less severe Stage 1 restrictions Friday. Campfires are still limited but allowed in maintained campgrounds. Fires are never allowed below the rim.

Water restrictions eased from Stage 3 to Stage 2 meaning visitors are asked to continue conserving water. But the water delivery systems at Havasupai Gardens have been repaired and water storage tanks are back in use.
