The blazes have consumed about 45,000 acres of land as of July 13. Park officials said the Dragon Bravo Fire, which burned 5,000 acres within the park, destroyed the Grand Canyon Lodge – the only hotel located inside the national park at the North Rim.

The visitor center and a wastewater treatment plant were among the 50 to 80 structures lost, the park superintendent said. The area was evacuated Thursday.

The Dragon Bravo Fire has destroyed dozens of structures and a water treatment facility, and the White Sage Fire, located in Kaibab National Forest, has forced hundreds to evacuate.
