Kaibab National Forest

The Kaibab National Forest borders both the north and south rims of the Grand Canyon, in north-central Arizona. Its 1.6 million acres are divided into three sections: the North Kaibab Ranger District, with offices in Fredonia; the Tusayan Ranger District, with offices in the Grand Canyon; and the Williams Ranger District, with offices in Williams. Grand Canyon National Park separates the North Kaibab from the South Kaibab, which comprises the Tusayan and Williams districts and covers less than 1,422 square miles, while the North Kaibab stretches over 1,010 square miles. Elevations vary from 5,500 feet in the south-western corner to 10,418 feet at the summit of Kendrick Peak, in the Williams Ranger District. The forest is managed by the United States Forest Service and is headquartered as a whole in Williams.
