Arizona Christmas Escape-21
As shown in this picture the weather in the Grand Canyon varies according to the elevation it falls on, snow in Arizona usually occurs at 6000 feet or higher with rain taking over below this elevation.
The South rim of the park can get up to 60 inches of snow annually while the northern rim can get upwards of 144 inches of snow, below the rims and along the river you would be lucky to get 8 inches of rain a year with snow being unheard of normally.
The Canyon is its own micro climate temperatures can vary from 100+ degrees in summers to -20 in winter but summer is the most deadly to tourists, they are unprepared for the heat so many cases of dehydration/sunstroke are common.
I took this with my D750 and Tamron SP 24-70mmmm 2.8 G2 Lens at 70mm 1/80s, f/11 ISO 100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia,
