The South Rim stays open throughout the year and provides access to essential viewpoints. Visitors can explore Mather Point Yavapai Point and Bright Angel Point. The North Rim closes during winter but the South Rim locations like Desert View and Grandview Point provide clear winter views of the canyon. Hopi Point draws visitors for its winter sunsets. One TourRadar traveler noted: "Even with some snow we could easily access all the major South Rim viewpoints in December and the winter lighting made for incredible photos."
What best hiking trails are recommended at Grand Canyon National Park in December?
December visitors can access several well-maintained trails including the Bright Angel Trail South Kaibab Trail and Grandview Trail. These paths offer views of snow-covered canyon walls with fewer visitors than peak season. The Hermit Trail works especially well for winter hiking between December and April showing off geological features fossils and Native American sites. TourRadar travelers mention that "even in winter the trail conditions were manageable with microspikes and proper gear."
What accommodations are available at Grand Canyon National Park in December?
Year-round lodging includes the historic El Tovar Hotel on the South Rim and the Clarion Inn in nearby Page. Additional options include The Grand Hotel and Squire Inn both just 10 minutes from the South Rim entrance. A TourRadar traveler commented: "Staying at El Tovar during December was magical - the hotel was beautifully decorated for the holidays and provided a cozy retreat after cold day hikes."
Are there any special events at Grand Canyon National Park in December?
December brings holiday celebrations to the park including the Grand Canyon Christmas Light Celebration at South Rim Village and festive dining at El Tovar Hotel. Desert View Watchtower often hosts cultural demonstrations during winter. One TourRadar traveler shared: "The holiday decorations and events made our December visit extra special especially the evening programs at the visitor center."
How do I reach Grand Canyon National Park in December?
Visitors can access the South Rim year-round using Highway 64 from Flagstaff Arizona. Tour companies run regular trips from Las Vegas and Flagstaff with heated vehicles for comfort. Many tours start from Harrah's Hotel in Las Vegas. TourRadar travelers recommend: "The winter drive was well-maintained and scenic especially the route through the Kaibab National Forest."
What wildlife can I see at Grand Canyon National Park in December?
Winter brings opportunities to see elk mule deer and various birds including California Condors.

A TourRadar traveler shared: "We saw more wildlife in December than expected including a herd of elk near the South Rim Village and several condors soaring over the canyon."
