Water on the North Kaibab Trail in Grand Canyon will be in short supply with the shutdown of the Supai Tunnel water filling station/NPS file

Water is becoming an especially precious commodity for those hiking the North Kaibab Trail in Grand Canyon National Park, as the filling station at the Supai Tunnel has been shut off due to a pump failure at the Roaring Springs pump house.

Water filling stations will continue to be available at the following locations along the North Kaibab and Bright Angel trails:   

North Kaibab Trail

  • North Kaibab Trailhead

  • Manzanita Day Use Area

  • Cottonwood Campground

Phantom Ranch and Bright Angel Campground

  • Phantom Ranch

  • Campground restroom or River restroom

Bright Angel Trail

  • Bright Angel Trailhead

  • Mile-and-a-Half Resthouse

  • Three-Mile Resthouse

  • Indian Garden and Plateau Point

Until the water pump is repaired and water in storage tanks reaches sustainable levels, the North Rim will remain in conservation mode. The NPS will continue to monitor water tank levels on the North Rim and may need to close additional facilities in an effort to further conserve water.

Corridor Trail water availability is available at: https://www.nps.gov/grca/planyourvisit/trail-closures.htm

Water is life plain and simple. Without water it's a bad day for everyone. Sounds like a great project for funding from "Great American Outdoors Act."  Fix these issues. What's the problem?
