The Dragon Bravo Fire, which has ravaged the North Rim of the Grand Canyon in Northern Arizona, was started by lightning and left to burn under managed conditions for fuel and resource benefits. However, strong winds caused the fire to jump containment lines, leading to it burning out of control. To date, it has consumed 11,344 acres of conifer forest as well as dozens of structures, including the historic Grand Canyon Lodge. Originally built in 1928, the lodge was destroyed in 1932 by a kitchen fire, but was reopened in 1937 like a phoenix rising from the ashes. For many venturing to the high, green, thrillingly remote North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park over the years, the lodge served as a prime destination thanks to its breathtaking vistas of the canyons and surrounding scenery—including for Leath Tonino during his time as a U.S. Forest Service raptor scientist. While the structure may be gone, the memories remain, as well as hope for the future. Read Tonino's elegy for both the lodge and the area affected by the Dragon Bravo Fire at the link in bio.

The North rim is a magical place... the forest will re-grow, the lodge can be rebuilt but lets leave it the beautiful forest and place that it is... a fire is NEVER an excuse to industrialize a majestic place on Earth, when we already have far too little. Love you North Rim, always & forever; so happy I got to see you a couple years back and I shall return again ❤️; my heart goes out to those whom lost or were impacted.🙏🏼 peace be with you.
