The South Rim of Arizona's Grand Canyon is expensive and overcrowded, and there is usually a shortage of parking and accommodation, but that of course doesn't matter as the canyon is the most famous natural attraction in the USA and possibly in the world. No-one forgets their first sight of the Grand Canyon and it will never fail to impress or offer something new, no matter how often it is visited.
This report describes the typical weather at the Grand Canyon National Park Airport (Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona, United States) weather station over the course of an average year. It is based on the historical records from 1981 to 2012. Earlier records are either unavailable or unreliable.
Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona has a continental climate with dry warm summers. The area within 40 km of this station is covered by shrublands (65%), grasslands (19%), and forests (16%).
Ninety percent of tourists see only the south rim of the Grand Canyon, since it is easily accessible and the main road (AZ 64) parallels the canyon edge for some distance (see map) - here there is every conceivable facility, many superb overlooks and a choice of hiking trails. The north rim, 215 miles away by road, is much more remote and high enough in elevation to be closed during the winter months by snow, but fewer people mean more peace and tranquility and the views are just as good. The only other part of the Grand Canyon Park that may be approached via paved roads is Havasu Canyon, contained within the Havasupai Indian Reservation to the west, although a day's hiking is necessary.
Canyon River Adventure is a tour that takes you on an enthralling sunrise tour of the Grand Canyon. The tour includes visit to Lake Powell, Glen Canyon Dam, Grand Canyon National Park. The Colorado River Float Trip is the perfect trip for those who are looking forward to a smooth water rafting one day experience. The Grand Discovery Air Tour is a 50-minute air tour over the Grand Canyon.
While on the Imperial Helicopter Tour, tourists are able to see the merging of the impressive Colorado River and the Little Colorado River. The Grand Canyon Railway travels through the forests and mountain lands. Tourists can book any one of the five different class seats such as Coach Class, Club Class, First Class, Observation Dome and Parlor Car. The North Canyon Helicopter Tour lets you explore the Dragon Corridor and the Central Canyon. The Grand Canyon Sunset Jeep Tour takes you on a tour of the Kaibab National Forest where you get to catch glimpses elk, deer and other species of wildlife. The Grand Canyon Mule Trips are also available.
The National Park Service says Arizona’s Grand Canyon receives more than five million visitors a year, most of whom view the canyon from overlooks.The Grand Canyon Skywalk, which is outside the park boundary, is a horseshoe-shaped glass walkway more than 3,500 feet above the canyon floor.It opened in 2007 and is owned by the Hualapai Indian tribe.
