Snowy Grand Canyon is even more beautiful

The Grand Canyon is one of the most famous attractions in the US. The canyon has several areas, and the South Rim is less crowded, with fewer tour groups and more spectacular scenery. 🚗Transportation 🚗It takes about 4.5 hours from Las Vegas and 3.5 hours from Phoenix. Roads are well maintained in winter, but be careful of ice in the morning and at night. 🎫Tickets Price: $35 per vehicle (valid for 7 days), $20 per person for pedestrians and cyclists. The "America the Beautiful Pass" ($80) covers all US national parks. ⏰Opening hours: The South Rim is open all year round, but hours are shorter in winter. Check in advance. Most visitor centers are open as usual. 🚁Helicopter tours A helicopter tour over the snow-covered canyon is amazing. Prices are about $200–$300 per person, and tours last 30 minutes to 1 hour. ✅Must-see viewpoints: Mather Point: The best place to watch the sunrise in winter, with a great view of the canyon. Bright Angel Trail: Great for hiking, but we recommend a short hike. Bring anti-slip gear. Wildlife: The South Rim is quiet in winter, so you can see more wildlife, such as bighorn sheep, deer, and California condors. The best time to see them is in the morning and evening. ⚠️Notes The temperature is low in winter (around 0°C during the day and colder at night), so dress warmly. Some trails may be icy in winter, so wear anti-slip shoes and bring water and snacks. Dining and accommodation: Hotels and restaurants on the South Rim, such as El Tovar Hotel and Bright Angel Lodge, are open in winter, but you need to book in advance.
