Highway 67 - Arizona
ADOT road
conditions report
Highway 67 passes through the forested lands of the Kaibab
National Forest and Jacob Lake. Highway 67 often closes after the first heavy
snow and does not open again until mid-May.
AZ Highway 67 Closure
Check to see if roads are open from mid-October
to mid-May when services close down at the North Rim. The Grand
Canyon Lodge and Grand Canyon Visitor
Center close mid-October each year,
but the North Rim itself and the trails remain open. Note that the North Rim
is a primitive area with few services. If visiting the Grand Canyon North Rim
after the lodge closes, be prepared for no services after Jacob Lake. The North
Rim is open to winter backcountry use. Permits are
required for overnight camping.
Forest Service Roads
Kaibab forest offers great, unpopulated summer drives, through ponderosa
pine and aspen forests to vistas of the North Rim of the Grand Canyon that are
just as good or better than anything seen from either rim.
Grand Canyon views from the Kaibab Forest
Many feel that the best views of the Grand Canyon are from Crazy Jug Point
and Timp Point. Crazy Jug Point is near Monument Point which is a popular trailhead
for Thunder River and Deer Creek. If lucky enough to visit the North Rim
of the Grand Canyon in October, try the forest service road to Timp Point which
is the better view point of the two. This path traverses rows of aspen, and in
October it's stunning with fall colors. Bring binoculars to get
a great view of Thunder River flowing from Tapeats Canyon.
Dispersed Camping in the Kaibab Forest
Dispersed camping is permitted in Kaibab National Forest as long as it is outside
the Grand Canyon National Park boundaries. Leave no trace. Pack out what you
pack in. Camp away from water and roads. Call 928.638.2443
Jacob Lake
Services often remain open at Jacob Lake after the North Rim Grand Canyon
Lodge closes in mid-October. Don't bring your boat to Jacob Lake looking to launch
it. Jacob Lake is a small pond on private property.
Kaibab Plateau Visitor Center
The Kaibab Plateau Visitor Center usually remains open after the Grand Canyon
North Rim services shut down for the winter. The Kaibab Visitor Center closure
date varies.
