You&#8217;ve read all about it. But, nothing really compares to seeing the Grand Canyon up close on a hiking or trekking adventure. Plenty of mystery surrounds its formation, although it\u2019s largely believed the canyon was formed over millions of years due to the Colorado River eroding the surface five to six million years ago. The remarkable natural structure varies in width, and the deepest point is nearly 6,000 feet. Needless to say, the park is, well, pretty grand. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re planning on hiking to the Grand Canyon, it\u2019s important to know when you should visit, and what you should pack. A trip to this vast and marvellous national park is a voyage that sits at the top of most bucket lists, so take note of our essential Grand Canyon packing list for hikers.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<!-- Shortcode [travelto] does not exist -->\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bi-XsmAHb6O\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"12\" style=\" background:#FFF;

Temperatures can rise above 30\u00b0C, so try and be mindful of this to avoid a trip to the hospital.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p style=\"margin-top: 1em;\"><em>See Also: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/days-to-come\/hiking-vs-trekking-a-guide-for-beginners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hiking Vs Trekking: A Guide for Beginners<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That being said, summer isn\u2019t the only month where the conditions will be fierce. In winter (December, January and February), the Grand Canyon can experience cold temperatures dropping to as low as 2\u00b0C. It\u2019s also worth noting that in the winter months, access to the North Rim is closed due to heavy snowfall. So if you are wishing to enjoy some of the hikes on this side of the canyon, avoid visiting from late October to mid-May. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, when is the best time to hike the Grand Canyon? The spring and fall seasons are the best time of the year to visit. From March to May, temperatures during the day are mild, precipitation is lighter, rainfall is lower and crowds aren\u2019t as large. In June, crowds increase due to school holidays so this window is very ideal for visiting. September to November (spring) is also a nicer time to visit due to the mild temperatures. Although keep in mind the North Rim can close from as early as late October. This window would particularly suit for a visit to the South Rim.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bh1-KcjH9PA\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"12\" style=\" background:#FFF;
