Let me be the first to tell you the LAST thing we expected was SNOW!!!!!!!!
Here is a picture of us on our first day at the Grand Canyon.
Notice you can't see much of the Grand Canyon due to the snow.
Now, we knew it was going to be cooler when we got to the Canyon....
we even planned for it--I took a very warm, fuzzy warm up suit plus a windbreaker-- as that seemed to be the correct attire.
My sisterinlaw took a wool sweater, cotton sweater, jeans, wind breaker;
my motherinlaw took 2 sweaters-although, she ended up with her daughter's windbreaker as we couldn't find one of the sweaters;
the husband had NO IDEA it would be cold in the Canyon and only had his little yellow sweat shirt
and we all had on socks and shoes---believe me---some people did not..
The first day we were there--
--it was 27 degrees, snowy, WINDY--
something you don't want on the top of the canyon!!!--
When we got up for sunrise--see the picture- -which was @ 6:23
it was 14 degrees......
Were we cold? You betcha.
Did we mind? You betcha.....we HAVE the correct attire--back in our closets at home.
Would we do it again? IN a heartbeat...
cold or not it was an awesome trip.

As you know, seeing the Grand Canyon is one of the things I really want to do...but when it is warmer! Wish I could have gone.
