Grand Canyon Businesses Struggle to Recover After Fires and Deadly Floods

Grand Canyon Businesses Struggle to Recover After Fires and Deadly Floods

The Grand Canyon region is facing a dual crisis as local businesses struggle to recover from the August 29, 2026, flash floods, which followed last year’s Dragon Bravo Fire. The floods have devastated tourism, cut off water supplies, and forced business owners like Larry Innes of the Kaibab Lodge to lay off staff and sell assets. The lack of tourists has been particularly damaging, as the area relies heavily on visitors for economic stability. Infrastructure damage has left some areas without running water, further complicating recovery efforts. Local frustration is mounting over the perceived slow response from state and federal authorities. (Source: AZFamily, published: 2026-09-07, 8:09 AM MST)
