The North Rim Service Station has closed for the season.

It had been open daily, May 15 through September 18, 2026. 

During the season, from May 15 to October 15, gasoline and diesel fuel are available just outside the park, on State Route 67, at the North Rim Country Store (on the opposite side of the SR 67 from Kaibab Lodge and DeMotte Campground), 5.5 miles (9 km) north of the North Rim Entrance Station.

Open all year, Jacob Lake, Arizona, on State Route 67 is located 31 miles (50 km) north of the park's entrance station. Jacob Lake is the closest location with fuel, lodging, a restaurant and groceries during the off-season. 

This year, visitors should plan ahead and be prepared for a more remote, limited-services experience this year as the park continues recovery and restoration efforts.

The 2026 season will focus primarily on day use and limited backcountry opportunities, with access to select scenic drives, viewpoints, and trails. Please note that potable water will not be available on the North Rim, so visitors should bring enough water and food for their visit.
