Free, Daily Park Ranger Programs
Leashed Pets Allowed
Join a park ranger for free, daily walks, talks, hikes, demonstrations, and
evening programs. Learn about geology, fossils, plants, animals, people,
and more! Look for programs for children ages 6–14 during summer.
Check visitor centers or go.nps.gov/gc_programs.
Protect the Park, Protect Yourself
Beat the Heat! Use free water
filling stations, wear sunblock, and
rest in the shade. The South Rim’s
high elevation and dry climate may
adversely affect you.
When Thunder Roars, Go
Indoors! Stay away from exposed
areas. Seek shelter in a building
or vehicle. Do not go under a
tree. Be prepared for any type
of weather: rain, snow, wind, or
sun. In winter, trails and walkways
may be icy. Wear over-the-shoe
traction devices. Road and weather
conditions: 928-638-7496 .
Keep Wildlife Wild! For your
safety and theirs, please: Keep a
distance of two bus lengths, do
not give water or food, and drive
carefully.
Stay behind railings and away
from cliffs. Hold on to children.
Do not back up without looking
around.
Leave what you find: rocks,
plants, artifacts, wood.
Please use recycling and trash
receptacles.
Write a postcard, not graffiti.
Flying unnmanned aircraft
(drones) is illegal.
Leashed pets are allowed on
Rim and Greenway trails, but
not below the rim, in buildings,
or on shuttle buses. These limits
do not apply to ADA-approved
service animals. Check in at the
Backcountry Information Center if
you plan to hike in the canyon.
Emergencies call 911
