North Rim Reopens for 2026 Season

Grand Canyon National Park officially reopened the North Rim for the 2026 season on May 15. The park extends a heartfelt thank you to Grand Canyon Conservancy, the Arizona Trail Association, and Aramark and for their support and partnership in helping ensure reopening remained on schedule for the 2026 season.

Visitors hiking the upper portion of the North Kaibab Trail between Supai Tunnel and the Trailhead are advised to use increased caution while traveling through areas affected by the Dragon Bravo burn scar.

Hikers are encouraged to closely monitor weather conditions and heed all posted warnings.

by Community Contributor • May 4, 2026 • Comments Off

City of Flagstaff voters,

There’s a lot of misinformation being spread in our community, on social media and by word of mouth, about ratifying the Flagstaff Regional Land Use Plan 2045.

F3 would like to directly address this misinformation by providing direct answers to specific misinformation. The questions and answers below are taken directly from the City of Flagstaff’s Regional Plan 2045 website FAQs.

Does the Regional Plan 2045 require that all new homes must be electric?

No, there is no policy that directly states that all new homes should be all electric. There is an action item in Chapter 10 to “Update the City Sustainable Building Resolution and Sustainable Residential Building Incentives to further implement net-zero energy standards.” The incentives could include points or options for all electric homes.

Winds exceeding 40 mph didn’t deter youth and parents from attending at the 2026 Annual Community STEM Celebration at the Fort Tuthill Fairgrounds on April 25.

In fact the youth appeared to have plenty of fun running down the stomp and air bottle rockets courtesy of the Coalition’s display at the annual celebration.

“Despite the cool and blustery weather, we had a turnout of close to 1,000 folks and certainly seemed like everyone had a great time,” said STEM City Coordinator Eli Cohen. More than 50 exhibitors took part in the free event.

“What an amazing day! Thank you to all of the incredible exhibitors who brought hands-on STEM experiences to life and shared your passion with our community. Your creativity, energy, and dedication made the event truly special,” the organization stated on its Facebook page.
