Free, Daily Park Ranger Programs
Grand Canyon National Park offers free, daily park ranger programs in the Village
and Desert View areas. Learn about geology, fossils, plants, animals, and people
during walks, talks, hikes, demonstrations, evening programs, and more! Look
for special programs for families with children ages 6–14 during summer. Check
visitor centers or go.nps.gov/gc_programs for a full listing
Protect the Park, Protect Yourself
Use sunblock, stay hydrated, take
your time, and rest to reduce
the risk of sunburn, dehydration,
nausea, shortness of breath, and
exhaustion. The South Rim's high
elevation (7,000 feet/2,135 m) and
dry climate affects you differently
than your home environment.
Monsoon storms are common in
summer. When you hear thunder or
see lightning, move away from the
canyon rim. Do not stand under a
tree. Seek shelter inside a vehicle,
building, or shuttle bus. Be aware
of possible flash floods and falling
rocks during and after storms.
Winter weather varies greatly and
changes suddenly. Be prepared to
layer clothing for cold, rain, wind,
and snow. Trails and walkways may
be icy. Wear over-the-shoe traction
devices for your safety. Road and
weather conditions: 928-638-7496.
Free, spring-fed drinking water is
available from bottle filling stations
at major trailheads, visitor centers,
grocery stores, and lodges.
Stay behind railings and away from
cliffs. Hold on to children. Do not
back up without looking around
you. Always be aware of your
surroundings.
Launching, landing, or operating
an unmanned aircraft is prohibited
inside Grand Canyon National Park.
Hikers can be injured by rocks and
coins tossed over the edge and rocks
dislodged by walking off trail.
Leave rocks, plants, wood, and
artifacts where you find them.
Keep wildlife wild. Approaching
and feeding wildlife is dangerous
and illegal. Elk and deer can become
aggressive and will defend their
space. Keep a safe distance of two
bus lengths or 100 feet (30 m) from
all wildlife. Do not feed the squirrels.
They will bite and can carry disease.
Leashed pets are allowed on Rim
and Greenway trails. Pets are not
allowed below the rim, in buildings,
or on shuttle buses. These limits do
not apply to service animals. Anyone
wishing to take a service animal
below the rim must check in at the
Backcountry Information Center
before starting their hike.
The walls of Grand Canyon tell an
amazing story. You alter that story
when you leave graffiti.
Use recycling and trash receptacles
to help keep Grand Canyon clean.
Emergencies call 911
