In this secluded paradise, mail still arrives by mule, turquoise cascades tumble into travertine pools, and time flows at the pace of the river.

The Dragon Bravo Fire destroyed the Grand Canyon Lodge and continues to burn. See the devastation, plus readers share memories of the lodge.

The Grand Canyon Lodge was one of dozens of structures destroyed in a fast-moving wildfire in Arizona over the weekend, the National Park Service confirmed.

Wildfires burning at or near the Grand Canyon's North Rim are still raging as strong winds, high heat and low humidity persist.

A water treatment facility at the North Rim had been compromised by the fire, causing chlorine gas to fall towards the bottom of the canyon.

The resulting Nankoweap landslide would have dumped enormous limestone boulders into the river corridor, creating a temporary dam and a lake whose surface may have reached 940 meters elevation before water overtopped and eroded the blockage, likely within 1,000 years.

The fast-moving fire destroyed a historic lodge and dozens of other structures in the Grand Canyon National Park.

The congressman is the latest lawmaker asking why the Dragon Bravo fire was not immediately extinguished when it was ignited by lightning on July 4.
