Spring is Coming to the Grand Canyon!


We've had several tours in the last month filled with courageous guests who have braved icy trails and snow storms, but the welcome, first signs of Spring have arrived. For the next 10 days, there are only two days with any precipitation forecast, and they're both for light rain and snow only at the Rims. The forecasted high today is 63 degrees fahrenheit! The snow is melting rapidly, and the Canyon is warming up. For guests and hikers heading into the Canyon in the next 10 days, things are good.

In southern Arizona the desert is literally covered with green grass in places. It's a lovely change from the sandy, barren soils of usual. So for people shuttling up from Phoenix, you're in for a treat as you drive from the green, grassy desert into the spring time mountains. And our wildflowers should be just around the corner!
