7 HELPFUL TIPS FOR VISITING THE GRAND CANYON IN WINTER

Are you thinking of visiting the Grand Canyon in winter? Well, you are in for a real treat! While many people wouldn’t consider going in the winter, those who do are blessed with a site so magical you wouldn’t believe it.

To make sure you get the most out of your Grand Canyon winter trip, this guide will tell you everything you need to know.

Hike the Rim Trail: Visitor Center to the Village

Take your time to stroll, enjoy the views and learn along the way with the interpretative trails, museums, and ranger talks.

Watch the Visitor Center’s 22-Minute Film

When you want to escape the cold, pop into the Grand Canyon Visitor Center at Mather Point to see the 22 minute park film, Grand Canyon – a Journey of Wonder. It’s a great introduction to the canyon, especially for kids.

Walk the Bright Angel Trail

The Bright Angel Trail is the most popular trail into the Grand Canyon. You can go down as far as you like, noting that it will take you longer to come back out as it can get fairly steep.

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 Watch Tower

Be sure to climb the watchtower which is the highest point on the South Rim. I loved the design of this building which resembles an ancient Puebloan Ian watchtower. It was designed by Mary Elizabeth Coulter who designed many of the buildings within the park.
