One of earth\u2019s most breathtaking natural scenes, a visit to the Grand Canyon National Park is right at the top of many travelers’ wish lists. Located in the corner of Arizona, the Canyon\u2019s landscape is picturesque and its climate is subtropical.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Like any area of outstanding natural beauty, the Canyon is a very popular tourist destination. If you\u2019re planning a Grand Canyon vacation, whether with friends or with the whole family, there\u2019ll be months you may want to pass on, but also times you won\u2019t want to miss. Read on to find out when the best time to visit the Grand Canyon is for you – and find out more about the best Scottsdale vacation rentals to use as your base.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Knowing the Best Time to Visit\u00a0<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Canyon is at its busiest during the summer breaks. Between June and August, the park is filled with sightseers and vacationers soaking up the warm weather. During these months, temperatures can easily reach 29 degrees celsius, especially in the early summer when the Canyon is at its driest. Towards the end of summer, however, comes the Grand Canyon National Park\u2019s monsoon season, where rainfall peaks.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The least popular times to visit fall between March-May, and September-November, when both the temperatures and the crowds are more moderate.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

March-May<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Spring months offer cooler, comfortable temperatures for hiking, below-average rainfall, and minimal tourist traffic – which can make it a good time for a Grand Canyon vacation. While some areas like the North Rim<\/a> might still be off-limits due to snow, the hotspots will be much quieter for a more serene trip, and National Park Week<\/a> is in April. The temperatures are known to get very cool at night, though. In which case, you\u2019ll need some cozy accommodation<\/a> for when you visit the Grand Canyon.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Our luxury home rentals pride themselves on being suitable for any weather. If the weather\u2019s not great for hiking one day, you can relax in the pool, cook in the outdoor kitchen, or spend time with family in the games room of our Scottsdale 73<\/a> villa, for example.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

September-November<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Autumn marks another period with thin crowds and optimal temperatures for outdoor activities. The autumn colors can\u2019t be beaten and, before the snow starts falling, the climate is mild. Vacation homes like the stunning Scottsdale 12<\/a> villa are complete with a pool to beat the heat in summer, and cozy interiors to shut out the snow in winter, making them ideal for Grand Canyon vacation rentals.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Scottsdale itself offers a lavish cityscape known for its golf courses, spa resorts, and high-end boutiques.\u00a0 If you\u2019re planning a road trip through the US, Scottsdale vacation rentals are a must and are just a few hours away from the Canyon. If you\u2019re looking to enhance your vacation experience, we offer an exciting range of Concierge services<\/a>, to elevate your villa stay.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
