GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK, Ariz.—Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs toured the destruction left by a wildfire along the Grand Canyon’s North Rim, on Saturday, surveying what she described as devastating damage.

The governor, who has called for an investigation into how the blaze was handled, sought to gather information ahead of meetings with federal officials next week. She looked intently out the window as the Black Hawk helicopter she was riding snaked over the Grand Canyon.
