Description

With an average temperature around 20 degrees F warmer than the Canyon rims, with scorching highs often exceeding 115 degrees F in the summer shade, the desert riparian biome of Phantom Ranch at the bottom of the Grand Canyon rarely gets snow. The winter storm on January 16th, 2023 proved an exception, as snow made it down the depths of the Canyon to the Colorado River. Spend a Minute Out In It touring the iconic sites of this Canyon refuge, all adorned with a lovely layer of snow, as fresh as it is rare.
