Caution: Recent rain and snow melt may cause rockfall on inner canyon trails.
Use caution while hiking. South Rim roads and walkways are open, but may refreeze and become icy overnight. The North Rim is closed for the winter and opens on May 15, for the 2017 season.
Caution: trails along the rim of Grand Canyon and into the canyon are snow-packed and icy.
Especially along the Canyon Rim Trail – and descending into the canyon, the top portion of Bright Angel, South Kaibab and Grandview Trails. Snow-melt can refreeze overnight. Slip-on shoe traction devices and trekking poles are recommended.
