Although right now is not the prime vacation season, Grand Canyon National Park South Rim is open for winter visits.
MultiBrief has an article on visiting Grand Canyon National Park during the winter.
They begin it with:
Grand Canyon National Park celebrates its centennial season this year, and the nation’s second most popular national park is expected to draw a record number of visitors — a figure that could top 6.5 million. So, if you’d like to join the 100th birthday celebration for the majestic canyon’s national park, we’d strongly suggest you beat the crowds with a winter visit.
While the canyon’s North Rim closes to the public during the winter, the South Rim remains open, and the park’s scenic drives, viewpoints, trails, lodgings and RV campgrounds are delightfully uncongested.
At an average elevation of 7,000 feet, the South Rim’s winter daytime temperatures can, of course, can be on the chilly side (typically 40-50 degrees Fahrenheit) but conditions are usually ideal for canyon gazing; hiking; biking; and mule, horse and helicopter rides.
