Best time to visit
The best time for a Grand Canyon vacation depends on your interests. If you want the best weather, then you should come during the summer. If you wish to avoid the crowds, then you might enjoy the peace and tranquillity of a wintertime Grand Canyon trip. But, make sure you pack waterproof shoes, at the least. And, finally, for the best of both worlds, come during the shoulder seasons. The middle of March through May and September through mid-November offer both milder weather and smaller crowds. Please keep in mind that the North Rim might be closed during the shoulder seasons due to snow.
