Here are postal cancellations from post offices in Grand Canyon National Park in northern Arizona. The cancellations are mostly on vintage tourist postcards supplemented with some postally used envelopes and philatelic covers. Currently there are two active post offices within the park. The "Grand Canyon Post Office" (est. 1902) is on the south rim, and the "North Rim Post Office" is located on the north rim of the park. The North Rim PO was originally named "Kaibab Forest Post Office" (est. 1926) and was renamed "North Rim Post Office" in 1947. There were three other earlier post offices on the south rim that were later discontinued. The first post office in the park was called "Tolfree" (est. 1894, discont. 1896) in operation for less than two years. Another discontinued post office was "Tourist" (est. 1897, discont. 1899) and it existed for only two years. The other post office was the "Grandview Post Office" (est. 1903, discont. 1908) associated with the pioneer Grandview Hotel, one of the early tourist destinations on Grand Canyon's south rim.
