PHOENIX – State Route 67 to Grand Canyon National Park’s North Rim is scheduled to close for the season on Monday, Dec. 2, unless snowfall requires shutting it early, state transportation officials said Friday.
The Arizona Department of Transportation closes SR 67 each winter due to anticipated heavy snowfall.
The 43-mile highway goes through an area that often receives more than 9 feet of snow in a season.
SR 67 normally reopens with North Rim facilities in mid-May.
US 89A will remain open at the junction with SR 67 in Jacob Lake, according to ADOT.
