Seasonal Weather
Spring
Springtime is an adventure in northern Arizona! As snow melts on the rims and temperatures begin to rise, vibrant wildflowers start blooming in the Grand Canyon. In late spring, wildlife, such as elk, have their offspring and are often seen throughout the park.
Fall
Mild temperatures and fall foliage make autumn the perfect time of year to visit northern Arizona! Fall tends to be less crowded than spring and summer, and the golden aspen leaves start popping in mid-October!
Summer
Early summer may be hot and dry. Monsoon season (our rainy season) normally starts in early July and ends in mid-September. Strong thunderstorms cool off the rims and create spectacular shows of lightning and rainbows! It’s our favorite time of year to view sunset!
Winter
Winter is the slowest time of year and most viewpoints at the Grand Canyon are deserted. Snow typically blankets the canyon rims during the winter creating spectacular photo opportunities!
