The Grand Canyon Lodge, which burned in the Dragon Bravo Fire over the weekend of July 12-13, was on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, the more remote and less visited part of the national park.

The Dragon Bravo Fire started burning on July 4, but grew out of control a week later because of strong winds and destroyed the Grand Canyon Lodge.

The blazes have consumed about 45,000 acres of land, an area about the size of Washington, D.C. Park officials said the Dragon Bravo Fire, which has burned 5,000 acres within the park, destroyed dozens of structures including the Grand Canyon Lodge,
