The Colorado Plateau has been hammered by snow storm after snow storm this winter. Another one is on its way starting tonight and snowing into Monday. For those of you heading out soon, know that the winter weather only extends about a mile down into the Canyon. As you hike down, you'll soon be out of the snow. We provide crampons for your boots near the rim because it can get icy. What's amazing is that at the bottom of the Canyon the temperatures are similar to Phoenix, so while it could be snowing at the top, the bottom can be in the 70s!
Also, this wet winter is GREAT news for wildflower enthusiasts! It's in wet winters that the spring flowers come out strong, so those of you joining us in March and April for Grand Canyon tours, you're in for a treat!
