When is the best time of year to visit the Grand Canyon?
Most visitors come to the Canyon from May through September. If you decide to come then, be aware that the high season, while beautiful, means large crowds and parking at a premium. In the off-season from October through April, crowds are minimal and seeing the Canyon with a dusting of snow is worth the trip! Beware that some parts of the park and some services are closed in the off-season. The South Rim is open all year, whereas the more remote North Rim visitor area is open from mid-May to mid-October.
