Summary[edit]
| Description |
During the warmer months, it is best to hike out the South Kaibab Trail early in tne morning, or in the late afternoon when the sun is low in the sky. The late afternoon sun in this photo, brought out silhouettes of several ridge-lines, and the Battleship formation. NPS photo by Michael Quinn, With inner canyon temperatures reaching into the 80's and 90's during the spring months, and into the 100's during the summer, it's a good idea to get an early start in the morning and hike while it's still cool. Plan your day so you are not hiking between the hours of 10am and 4pm. Take a break near shade and water to avoid the worst heat of day. Enjoy a predawn start and a late afternoon finish. Experienced desert hikers know that the timing of their hike is the most important factor in avoiding hazards. Most of the people who need emergency medical help in the canyon due to heat illness are hiking between 10am and 4pm. Always bring a lightweight flashlight to give yourself the option of hiking out after dark in the event that illness, injury, or enjoyment should slow you down.
