Republic photographer Michael Chow captured the wildfire in a time-lapse video taken July 14 from the Canyon's South Rim. Chow set up his camera on a tripod, pointed it at the smoke, hoping it cleared at some point and and shot a photo every four seconds for 4 1/2 hours.
The only lodging on the Grand Canyon’s North Rim was among dozens of structures consumed by the Dragon Bravo Fire, which has burned more than 5,000 acres.
