The Grand Canyon really is incredible, each and every day throughout the year. As the sun moves through the sky, the light changes throughout the day at the canyon, so the colors and vistas are ever-changing. Some visitors enjoy the early morning light, while others prefer the colors of evening and sunset. Keep in mind that spring and summer are peak times at Grand Canyon National Park and the business seasons. Fall colors are stunning at the canyon, and winter is quiet and snowy.

Our tours operator rain or snow. We will not operate a tour if there is no visibility due to low clouds and/or fog. If it is raining or snowing, the hummers will be ‘enclosed’, the vehicles are heated, and we provide blankets and rain ponchos.

The Hummers are ‘open air’ as long as the temperature is comfortable for guests. Generally, they are ‘open air’ Spring, Summer and early Fall. Of course, in the case of inclement weather (rain, now, excessive winds), the Hummer will be enclosed for guests’ comfort.

Dress warm with a jacket and hat, but our hummers come equipped with a heater and we have additional blankets to keep everyone comfortable.

The weather at the Grand Canyon varies greatly depending on when you visit.

Because we are in Northern Arizona, we do not experience the extreme high temperatures that occur in Southern Arizona (Sedona, Phoenix, etc..), but we do sometimes experience higher than average temperatures in July/August.

We also have the Monsoon Season that typically lasts from mid July-early September, which can mean frequent, but short, rain showers, including thunderstorms.

Winter can mean cold temperatures and snow…and the snow provides amazing views of the canyon!

Our Hummers are customized to provide the most comfortable touring experience no matter the season or weather: Open air during warm weather, enclosed during colder weather and in the case of rain or snow. The hummers are equipped with heaters, and we provide blankets and rain ponchos.

Please always check weather and road conditions for our area when planning you trip. Use your favorite weather app and choose “Grand Canyon Village”, “Zip Code 86023” or “Tusayan AZ” for the filter.

AZ511.com is an excellent resource for obtaining current road and traffic conditions before you head to Buck Wild Hummer Tours. Enter “Buck Wild Hummer Tours 469 AZ-64 Tusayan Arizona 86023” as your destination.
