The Dragon Bravo Fire, ignited by lightning, consumed 5,000 acres within Grand Canyon National Park's North Rim. Between 50 and 80 structures were destroyed, including the historic Grand Canyon Lodge,

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 Grand Canyon Lodge was the park's one and only hotel, according the National Park Service, with the next nearest lodgings roughly 18 miles away.
