PHOENIX – The entire Grand Canyon North Rim has been closed since the Dragon Bravo Fire raged through the area in mid-July.

That will change on Wednesday, when public access to select areas of the North Rim will be restored, Grand Canyon National Park officials announced this week.

The accessible areas will remain open through Nov. 30 or until the first major snowfall hits, whichever comes first, officials said.

The announcement marked a course change after officials previously said the entire North Rim would be closed for the remainder of the annual visitor season, which usually runs through mid-October.
