SR 67 is open to motorists with Grand Canyon North Rim reopening

State Route 67 heading to the Grand Canyon National Park’s North Rim is now open!

The winding, 40-mile highway, which closed for the winter on Dec. 1, reopened on Friday, June 2, for the summer season.

To reach the North Rim from Flagstaff, take US 89 north about 110 miles to Bitter Springs, head west on US 89A for about 60 miles to Jacob Lake, and then go south on SR 67.

ADOT doesn't clear snow on SR 67 in the winter months due to the North Rim's closure. Here's a closer look at the herculean task crews completed to get the route ready for the June 2nd opening:
