Summer months are pretty hot, especially at the bottom of the canyon, where it can be well over a hundred. The best hiking weather is generally April and May, and late September through October. But then, these are the hardest times to get backcountry permits. You would send your applicAtion on May 1 for a permit date any time in September.
Sun temperatures are 15F to 20F (9C-11C) degrees hotter than posted shade temperatures. And keep in mind, the farther into the canyon you go the hotter it gets! 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.
