The North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park is set to partially reopen next week for the first time since a pair of massive wildfires destroyed many of its beloved buildings this summer.

Highway 67 (to W1 road) and Cape Royal Road will reopen on Wednesday, Oct. 1, offering access to scenic places like Point Imperial and Cape Royal. Fire Point and Swamp Ridge will also reopen, according to an update from park officials . The reopened sections will welcome visitors from sunrise to sunset daily through Nov. 30, or until the first major snowfall of the season, when the section’s normal seasonal closure begins.
