End of may me & a few friends will be leaving southeast Texas heading into northern Arizona to check out the Grand Canyon.Can't wait til then comes.A few of us went to Big Bend national park last Oct.and had a great time.
Check before you go out of your way to the North Rim, the highway from Jacob Lake might not be open until Memorial Day. South Rim is always open, though.
I've been to the North Rim February to April and ran into dusting of snow. I never would visit Gand Canyon after April 1st because it's too crowded. Bryce has heavy snow before April but Zion and Moab is hot after April 1st.

We'll be arriving after memorial day so we should be ok.Looking forward to it for sure.As far as the heat goes I live rigjt on the gulf coast, where its very hot and humid.
Are you going to get the chance to ride on Highway 191 either north or south between Clifton Az. and Eager Az.? That is an awesome twisty road.
It use to be Highway 666 but they changed it to Highway 191 because of the 666 devil thing.
