One of the wonderful things about the Grand Canyon is that it can be visited any day of the year. Each season presents the canyon in its own unique way.
- Spring & fall: March to May and September to November are the best time to visit the Grand Canyon. Temperatures are pleasant between 60 - 80 degrees Fahrenheit, precipitation is light and the crowds are manageable. Another reason to head over during Spring is to catch the wildflower season.
- Summer: The park’s peak season is summer, making it the most crowded time to visit especially at the South Rim. From mid-May to mid-September, you can expect long, sunny days with temperatures hovering anywhere between 40 and 85 degrees.
- Winter: December, January, and February are perhaps the most underrated months to visit the canyon. Sure, you’ll need to bundle up a little, but the Grand Canyon covered in snow is an absolutely beautiful sight. You can expect daytime temperatures to float in the 40s; it’s only at night when temperatures fall to freezing.
