FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — With less snowfall lately at the Grand Canyon’s North Rim, tourism officials see an opportunity to stretch the visiting season and bring more revenue to the region. But tourism officials say climate change is on their side as they advocate for a way to extend the North Rim season. Kane County, Utah, tourism director Camille Johnson has been leading the discussion. Overnight lodging at the North Rim shuts down Oct. 15, as do ranger-led programs and most concessionaire services. He wonders if extending hours at the rest of the North Rim is necessary and if the economics would play out.
