At long last, there's some good news to report concerning the east entrance to Grand Canyon National Park.
There are some things to know about it and AZCentral has posted an article with the "skinny" on the reopening.
AZCentral reported:
Grand Canyon National Park's east entrance — the location of the historic Desert View Watchtower — has been closed for most of the pandemic. It will reopen on Thursday, April 8.
Since April 1, 2020, the east entrance and State Route 64, the scenic highway that leads to, have been closed in accordance with COVID-19 restrictions on the Navajo Nation. The park closed the entrance to discourage travelers from passing through the reservation, which had imposed lockdown and curfew regulations.
The reopening was announced Wednesday by park Superintendent Ed Keable and was based on input from tribal and state officials and community members.
