in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice
Inside Grand Canyon National Park, if privately owned land sits within 300 feet of the canyon rim, no building, tent, fence, or other structure can be built on the park's own land between that private land and the rim.
This section protects the view and land right at the edge of the Grand Canyon.
The rule. If privately owned land within the park lies within 300 feet of the rim of the Grand Canyon, then no building, tent, fence, or other structure may be built on the park-owned land that sits between that private land and the canyon rim. In other words, the strip of park land closest to the rim, next to any nearby private property, must stay free of construction.
