Our family of four hiked to Phantom Ranch in December 2021. The Grand Canyon saw a decent amount of snow leading up to our departure, and the first 2-3 miles of our descent and last 2-3 miles of our ascent were snow covered.

The entire Phantom Ranch process from the hike to the accommodations to the food to the camaraderie absolutely must be experienced. We reflect upon that trip probably more than anything else we've ever done as a family, and we cannot wait to return.
