The Point Sublime road is currently open and accessible from Highway 67 within the park. The W4 Road and the W1 Road to the W4 intersection have been cleared of debris. The road from Highway 67 to Point Sublime is in very rough shape, worse than last year. High clearance four-wheel-drive strongly recommended.

Point Sublime is NOT accessible from the Forest Service boundary north of Kanabownits. The road north of Kanabownits has NOT been cleared of debris, and thus the Swamp Ridge road remains inaccessible at this time.

The Saddle Mountain Trailhead (access to Nankoweap from the Kaibab Plateau) has several logs laying halfway across the road. Vehicles can get around the logs, but passage is narrow. Wide vehicles may have some difficulty reaching the trailhead.

Hikers considering traveling dirt roads to remote trailheads should contact the North Kaibab Ranger District of the Kaibab National Forest at 928-643-7395, the Tusayan Ranger District of the Kaibab National Forest on the South Rim at 928-635-4061 or the Backcountry Information Center for current conditions.

------------------------------------------

• Report the location and diameter of the tree to Grand Canyon park dispatch (928-638-7805) as soon as possible. The park will assign staff to clear the road.
• If an appropriate (not blocking the road and not damaging vegetation) place to park is available, park your vehicle and continue to the trailhead on foot.
• Do not drive off-road attempting to bypass the obstacle, doing so can cause resource damage.

Water available (year-round) on the South Rim at the Backcountry Information Center in the lobby. Water available (year-round) on the North Rim outside the Backcountry Information Center. Additional water bottle filling stations can be found on the Go "Green" and Refill Your Water Bottles web page.

Plan Ahead and Prepare: A backup method to treat water, should the pipeline break, must always be included as part of your first aid kit. Backcountry hikers should always carry extra water.
