7 days and counting...Clothing and Sundries

"How much clothing should I bring" is a last minute call. First of all, there are variations in temperature from the Rims to the bottom of the canyon. Right now, the South Rim temperatures are perfect; highs in the 60's, lows in the 30's. Temperatures in the North Rim are currently highs in the 50's and lows in the upper 20's-30's. (Brrrrr) Phantom Ranch temperatures are typically 10' warmer than the rims. However, this week the temps have been even higher than normal.

Since we are staying overnight at the South Rim, we also need to consider the amount, and type, of clothing needed for the South Rim. And, should we need to stay overnight somewhere in the canyon, we need to ensure we have enough clothes to stay warm.
