There is some good news for tourists visiting Grand Canyon National Park starting x.

Water restrictions will continue to ease up as the park’s water supplies improve.

Water spigots in Mather and Desert View Campgrounds have also been turned on and fire restrictions have been lifted there; however, campfires are only permitted in established campfire rings.

Visitors are still encouraged to reduce water use whenever possible.
