Wildfires Force Evacuations at Grand Canyon and Black Canyon National Parks
Wildfires are escalating across the American West, prompting closures and evacuations in several national parks. Both Black Canyon of the Gunnison in Colorado and the North Rim of the Grand Canyon in Arizona were forced to close due to active blazes. These fires, fueled by hot temperatures, low humidity, and gusty winds, have caused evacuations and concern for nearby residents and visitors. Fire officials emphasized the importance of responsible recreation due to the hazardous conditions and the potential for human-caused ignitions.
