Hi Chris
Any idea what the weather is like in the Grand Canyon at this time of the year?

Thanks a lot

It rather depends if you are at the top or the bottom

[237SJ]

buildersmate - I`ll probably be halfway between the two! (I want to do the helicopter ride)

then you'll probably be doing it from the south rim, the much more touristy side and warmer too. I did it in February; the weather was mild but cool, cloudy, a bit of snow on the ground. I believe it can be stormy, though, so it's not necessarily the ideal time.

My boss was there last week on a "sales meeting". He is back on Monday. I'll ask him.

Thanks stoofur. I didn`t go in the end because we got so late into Phoenix it was too late to book anything. Did your boss come back on a Phoenix flight? He might have been with me (got back this afternoonn)

Hello SJ,
My boss flew back on Friday night. That would have been quite a coincidence! He was also staying in Phoenix. Apparently they did go to the Grand Canyon and it was a bit of a drive. They also had trouble finding it (yes the biggest hole in the world)! Apparently on the way they were driving through hot desert and then they drove up a mountain to 6000 ft. At the top of the mountain there was about a foot of snow! Very strange driving through desert and then through snow. They finally got to the Grand Canyon where there was snow still. Hope you had a good trip. Maybe next time you will get to see it.

I went down on a burro and camped overnight at the bottom by the Colorado. Absolutely fabulous. I think's it's one of the most beautiful places I have ever been.

stoofur, I don`t know which airline your boss flew with but if it was the same as me, he would have been pretty delayed friday night as that`s the aircraft we went into Phoenix with, with a 3 hour technical delay.

lardhelmet, where did you get your name from? I can`t decide whether I think it`s rude or not :-)

[stoofur]

Wow! What a small world. Yes his plane was delayed. Maybe he even sat in you seat! That is a thought....

[237SJ]

stoofur, we must stop meeting like this LOL
Your boss wouldn`t have sat in my seat. My seat was in the galley :-)
