Driving to the Grand Canyon in February - weather?
Does anyone know about the weather in this area around the end of February? I've looked online and it does say that it could be snowy/icy which concerns me a little.
I'm going to be staying in Williams, driving there from Las Vegas and then heading to the South Rim. I've done this drive at various other times during the year, including November when we had some snow but it wasn't icy. I'm just a little concerned at how icy it might and what the driving conditions might be like.
Thanks

Personally I would expect snow in possibly very significant amounts on that stretch of road.The snowline is basically at the Ash Fork exit. Expect snow east of there .
S.Rim GCNP temps should be in the 20's
Check w/ ADOT for road closures
Have fun

Every time we go up to the Canyon in January our motto is always "Plan for the worse". It is hard to tell how the weather will turn in February. This past January it was simply gorgeous and in the 40's. The day we were leaving the weather turned and it snowed heavy. We left earlier in the day than we planned, and thankfully so because the next day ice was reported along the rim.
Like the others said, keep checking the weather reports when the time comes closer. Have a great trip!

You can get a better idea of the weather when the time comes. Usually the ice would be on the road at night unless its a real good cold snap. You might get lucky and have 70 deg. weather. It's too hard to say. You can find out from LV.
