SPRING RECREATION
Most of the trails on the South Rim are snow free with the exception of the Oak Flat Loop. Patches of relatively deep snow and icy spots exist. The inner canyon routes are melting out, but patchy snow still exists on the South Rim routes. The Gunnison Route still holds significant snow near the chain. Please call for updated route and trail conditions.

Hot chocolate, tea, and coffee are available at the South Rim Visitor Center from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. if you need a warm up after your trip.
