The Grand Canyon in winter
GRAND CANYON VILLAGE, Ariz. - The outside temperature on my car's dashboard monitor read 5 degrees Fahrenheit as I approached the south entrance of Grand Canyon National Park at 8 a.m. On a mid-winter morning. I happened to mention the chilly number to the ranger at the drive-up window.
"Oh, I think it's warmer than that," he said - and it probably was in nearby Grand Canyon Village on the gorge's South Rim. "But we sometimes get into the minus-teens," a fact that he said surprises many visitors. Ref. Source 7
