What December feels like
Snow settles on the red walls a few times each winter and it is the photograph everybody wants. Shaded trails ice up and stay iced, so pack traction; the upside is a canyon you can drive through and a trailhead spot whenever you feel like it.
Expect about 4 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. about 20 nights dip below freezing.
