 Episode 3 chronicles the devastating Dragon Bravo Fire that destroyed Grand Canyon Lodge North Rim on July 13, 2025. Host Jasper Wilde recounts how a lightning strike during summer thunderstorms ignited a wildfire that completely consumed the historic lodge, all cabin accommodations, visitor center, gas station, and administrative buildings - destroying 50 to 80 structures total. The episode details the successful evacuation that saved lives while erasing nearly a century of architectural heritage and guest memories. Wilde explores the compounding threat of the White Sage Fire that burned over 40,000 acres, the immediate closure of North Rim operations for the entire season, and the complex challenges facing any rebuilding effort including environmental regulations, heritage preservation requirements, climate change considerations, and enormous financial costs. The episode reflects on the cultural loss of a National Historic Landmark and the uncertain future for this beloved wilderness destination.
