Hiking the Grand Canyon In Midwinter

“This year’s trip was our most ambitious yet. Besides the 8-mile-per-day average and 4,500-foot descent/ascent at either end, a snowstorm had piled 20 inches of snow at the rim, requiring warmer (read: heavier) clothes and crampons.” Backpacker editor Jonathan Dorn reports on his family’s recent visit to a cold but glorious Grand Canyon hike of the Escalante.
