7 HELPFUL TIPS FOR VISITING THE GRAND CANYON IN WINTER

The 2.5 mile section of the Grand Canyon Rim Trail between the Visitor Center and the Village is worth doing, especially if you visit the Grand Canyon with kids. 

Rim Trail: Visitor Center to the Village

This trail was covered in snow and ice. We strapped on our Merrell hiking boots though to experience a bit of it. 

Bright Angel Trail

Hopi Point Sunset 

Don’t miss the sunset at Hopi Point. It does get busy (and will be cold) but if you grab a spot in the parking lot you can jump in and out of the car to warm up. 

Desert View Watchtower 

I loved getting a great view of the Colorado River snaking through the valley, watched over by the jagged cliffs of the rim.

Craig’s parents and sister have stayed at Kachina Lodge and were happy with it. They choose Kachina Lodge due to its prime location on the Rim Trail, and relatively affordable price compared to others nearby.
