Reviewed 2026-10-23. Source review, not a field inspection or same-day all-clear. HILLS and high altitude require effort and controlled descending. NPS October 15, 2026 announcement confirms final extension completed in September; this replaces older work forecasts. Bicycles are prohibited on the Rim Trail and at viewpoint overlooks.
