The Grand Canyon is one of the greatest natural scenic wonders in the United States and the world. Here is a list of the most popular months that visitors and tourists go to the Grand Canyon in. Do you have any idea which month is the most popular with visitors and tourists to the Grand Canyon?
Overall, some six million people a year visit the Grand Canyon for vacations and to see this great natural wonder. That's up from just two million visitors and tourists who went to the Grand Canyon in 1979, so this national park has seen huge growth from tourism over the last 40 years or so.
Regarding the weather, it must have a big impact on when visitors and tourists go to the Grand Canyon because the road to the North Rim is closed annually from sometime in November until late winter or early spring depending on the snow. Obviously that reduces the number of visitors to the Grand Canyon somewhat over those months, though, most visitors go to the South Rim and not the North Rim.
It's also clear from the data below that people mainly want to visit the Grand Canyon during the warmer months of the year. The weather can get cold and snowy at the top of the Grand Canyon from October through mid-May but it's almost always much milder at the bottom of the canyon than at the top. Of course, unless your taking a rafting trip you have to visit the top of the Grand Canyon to get to the bottom by hiking or mule ride.
What is the best month to visit the Grand Canyon? Any month is a great time to visit this magnificent scenic wonder but if you are looking for the best travel deals to the Grand Canyon and want to make sure you can get a room at one of the lodges in the park than your best bet is one of the lesser visited months below.
