Notes About Wireless Coverage in Grand Canyon National Park:

• The proposal includes accommodating up to five additional telecommunications towers within developed areas on the North and South Rims, the installation of small-cell nodes in high visitor use areas, and the installation of fiber optic communications cable along existing corridors. The proposed action also includes the removal or relocation of existing telecommunications infrastructure. For example, one existing telecommunications tower within Grand Canyon Village may be relocated to an area outside of the historic district. All new or relocated telecommunications infrastructure would be sited, designed, and constructed in adherence to NPS-identified parameters in order to avoid or minimize impacts to park resources.
  
  
• Current cellular sites within park boundaries are located in and near Grand Canyon Village. All other cellular service comes from outside park boundaries.  The South Rim of the park, where most people visit, has some cellular service, but it drops to zero when visitors hike down toward the Colorado River.
  
  
• There are a number of areas with high elevation, including the area of the park along the North Rim, where a cell signal can be  accessed but cannot be relied upon. Park coverage has been field checked but has not been updated recently.
  
  
• There is wi-fi available in commercial areas of Grand Canyon Village.
