You can’t deny this view is gorges! Colder temperatures, shorter days, and snow bring a slower pace to one of the nation's most visited national parks. After the December holidays, during January and February, winter visitors find paths less traveled throughout the park. Those prepared for ice and snow will find the Bright Angel Trail a bit quieter and scenic drives less congested.

Dramatic winter storms, bringing several inches of snow, are contrasted with sunny days, perfect for walking along the rim of the canyon. Crisp air and a dusting of snow bring a new perspective to the temples and buttes emerging from the canyon floor and provide a perfect backdrop to view the canyon's flora and fauna. A trip to Grand Canyon can be a great winter getaway, especially with careful planning. The National Park Service Mobile App is a great place to start. Be prepared for your trip and stay alert to have a fun, safe winter adventure. Image: Morning sunrise over a snow-covered canyon as seen from near El Tovar Hotel in Grand Canyon Village. NPS/M.
