Summary[edit]

Description

Grand Canyon Village on December 4, 2011 with the winter storm lifting around noon. Historic Kolb Studio is the building in the foreground. Some hikers can be seen starting down the Bright Angel Trial. Just behind Kolb is Lookout Studio, with visitors standing outside on the observation deck. The historic El Tovar Hotel is beyond.

Winter conditions on the South Rim can be extreme. Be prepared for snow, icy roads and trails, and possible road closures. Winter weather typically begins by November and becomes well entrenched by December and January, with frequent light to moderate snows and increasingly colder weather. Low temperatures are generally in the teens along the Rim; however afternoon high temperatures still average in the 40s (4-9°C), due to the amount of sunshine the area receives.
