The Grand Canyon Lodge was often the first prominent feature to see before they saw the canyon. The highway ends in the cottage, known for its sloping roof, huge rays of pumderosa and massive limestone facade. By walking through the hall and descending through the staircase, visitors could get their first glance at the Grand Canyon, which lights the windows through the “sun room”.
“It’s just as if you were a pioneer when you were going there (cottage),” said Tim Allen, long -time residents of Flagstaff, Arizona and the annual Grand Canyon visitor. “It really looked like you were in the past.”
Allen said the northern edge felt special and more personally due to its remoteness and a reduced number of tourists. He often spent time there by camping and hikes from the rim-na edge, trekking to the bottom of the canyon and back out.
“It’s heartbreaking,” he said of the destruction caused by fire.
Aramark, a company that operated Lodge, said all employees and guests were safely evacuated.
“As the administrators of some of the most popular national treasures of our country, we are destroyed by loss,” said Debbie spokeswoman Albert.
According to the historical company Grand Canyon Original Lodge, it detonated from the kitchen fire in 1932, four years after the completion of construction. A redesigned cottage using the original stone open in 1937.
Thomas Sulpizio, President of the Historical Society, said Lodge contained some valuable archives that he wasn’t sure they were saved.
The lobby also contained the famous £ 600 bronze statue of the axis called “Brighty The Burro”.
Meanwhile, officials reported progress in the fight with the second fire burning north of the Grand Canyon. The fire line on the fire of the White Sage, which forced the evacuation on the northern edge and in the Jacob Lake community, held the officials. On Sunday afternoon the fire burned 63 square miles (162 km2 kilometers) terrain.
Crews and bulldozers uphill worked on the southern edge of the fire and the fire spread was minimal.
But to the east and north, the fire spread rapidly, with grass and standing dead trees contributing to the intensity of the fire, the officials said. The fire pushed down the hill towards the Vermilion Cliffs area, and crews assessed the opportunity to create bumper zones that help slow down or stop the progress of fire.

Elsewhere, one of several fires burning in Colorado, which closed the black canyon from the Gunnison National Park, about 260 miles (420 kilometers) southwest of Denver, burned 5.6 square miles (14.5 km2) and forced the evacuation of houses near the park. The fire began with lightning on Thursday on the southern edge of the park, a dramatic, deep ravine carved by the Gunnison River.
Colorado Gov. Jared Polis issued a statement of disaster on Sunday because of this and other fires burning in West Colorado. His office said everyone was launched by the same storm.
