A historic lodge on the Grand Canyon's North Rim has been destroyed by a fast-moving wildfire, the park said Sunday.

The Grand Canyon Lodge, the only lodging inside the park at the North Rim, was consumed by the flames, a park official said Sunday morning.

A wildfire fanned by winds gusting to 40 miles per hour destroyed the historic Grand Canyon Lodge and surrounding cabins at Grand Canyon National Park, where the North Rim had been closed to the public since last week due to another fire.
