[quote=Anonymous]It's the old adage - "its dry heat". Daytime temperatures can soar in July, rim of the Canyon will be ok but if you planning to hike below the rim - be aware that there is very little shade, the sun off of the red rocks adds additional heat and the lower you go the hotter it will be. Night time temperatures at the river will be warm but not humid like DC. Water is really the biggest concern. Folks tend to underestimate what is needed and what you have to carry. Especially if you are hiking out of the canyon from the river - even with an early start that last bit can be very dangerous. On the other hand it sounds like you are doing this with an organized group? I would want to know what the includes for the canyon - are they carrying your bags and extra water? The National Park Service provides some good FAQ's - https://www.nps.gov/grca/planyourvisit/hiking-faq.htm#CP_JUMP_1900774[/quote]
