Seasons

Spring and autumn are best. Summers are very hot (and crowded on the rim and viewpoints). Winters can have snow for extended periods.

Centres

Access is via Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, Phoenix and Flagstaff

Difficulty

Quite a range, from gentle walks on the Canyon rim to long, arduous and steep treks in a tough (and perhaps hot, perhaps cold) desert environment.

Must See

Where to start? The views are incredible in all the canyons. The walking trails are awesome, and some are serious endeavours.
