Wildfires have destroyed a historic hotel in the Grand Canyon, as well as prompted evacuations and air quality concerns in the area, officials said on Sunday, July 13.

The Grand Canyon Lodge opened in 1937 and was the only hotel located inside the national park at the North Rim.

"The Dragon Bravo Fire on the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park exhibited extreme and volatile fire behavior the evening of July 12, resulting in a 500-acre expansion," park officials said in a social media post on July 13. "Fire managers have confirmed the loss of the Grand Canyon Lodge and numerous historic cabins in the developed area."
