Winter Tours And The Grand Canyon

Understanding the times other people are avoiding something due to a misunderstanding presents an opportunity for those in the know. This can be said for any visit the grand canyon and which time of year you do it. The main complaint with regards to the grand canyon is that it is crowded at the main areas where people want to take pictures or hike. This is because the grand canyon is one of the most popular national parks in the country, and has arguably the best view on earth. Because of the amount of people who come into Las Vegas every year and use it as a starting point for a grand canyon trip, the popularity of tours and to Las Vegas has also had a significant impact on the amount of people that visit the grand canyon every year. As a result, the Pete worst seasons have become far less enjoyable than you would expect, as people complain about fighting with other tourists for that perfect picture, or not feeling as though they are able to observe the area as well because of the amount are people that are there. This is why so many people who are trying to find the time of year to visit the grand canyon which will have fewer tourists and still present all of the opportunity’s that you have any other time of the year prefer the winter. Yes, you probably won’t be doing much as far as whitewater rafting during the winter, but all of the hiking trails and interesting places to view the landscape are going to be open and fully operational. There are some closures of roads during times of large snowfall, but this is a few and far between and for the most part you are going to find that the park remains fully open and able to be accessed at just about every place. As a matter of fact, many people argue the winter is the best time of year to go to simply because the view is better.

If you are going to the grand canyon for the view, which most people are, then going in the winter is actually the best time of year. This is because the colder temperatures make it so you can see further due to the clear skies that are presented. If there is snow, it gives the canyon a completely different look than most people have ever experienced before as most pictures and videos that they have seen were taken during the spring or summer. The totally unique experience the winter in this court is national park far outweighs the fact that the air is a little more crisp and the hikes are usually a little shorter. The best advice that you can have is to simply wear a few layers of clothing that you can put on or take off as necessary to remain comfortable and temperatures that will range between 60 and 30°. Tours traffic from October until spring will drop to about 10% of the high point of the year. For those in the know, this makes it all worth it.
