Visitors won’t be able to stay overnight in hotels at Grand Canyon National Park after a series of breaks in the only pipeline that serves the popular tourist destination.
The restrictions will run throughout the Labor Day holiday when hotels are near or at capacity, Grand Canyon spokesperson Joelle Baird said Wednesday. It's an unprecedented move, even for a waterline that has experienced frequent failures, including four recent significant breaks.
Heidi Zahner Younts, of Iowa City, Iowa, said Wednesday in a comment on the park's Facebook page that she had “the trip of a lifetime” with her daughter planned for the weekend, calling the situation sad. Park officials hope to restore full operational status for overnight guests on the South Rim as quickly as possible.
