Most people probably don't think of spending Christmas at the Grand Canyon. Although many may not consider national parks winter holiday hotspots, we believe the Grand Canyon is one of the greatest places to create Christmas memories. With cool temps, no crowds and accessible winter activities, it's a great time of year to visit the park. Grand Canyon is a true masterpiece during the winter months. The endless views of layered snow upon stacked red rocks deep into the canyon, make you see winter with a whole new appreciation. Just stop in for the day, walk the rim and have a Christmas meal; or hike to the Colorado River, spending your holiday in the Canyon's backcountry. Hiking with cactus on the south rim, or cross-country skiing in the pines, the Grand Canyon is a magical place for everyone at Christmas time.
And of course, the experiencing the Polar Express with Grand Canyon Railway!
Ride The Polar Express train in pajamas with hot cocoa and cookies from Williams to the Grand Canyon to see Santa's workshop. A family favorite and a wonderful way to experience the Grand Canyon during Christmas. Reservations are recommended, especially for Christmas Eve.
Once considered one of the most elegant hotels west of the Mississippi, El Tovar will create an amazing Christmas atmosphere for anyone. This hotel is a great place to stay if visiting the Canyon for multiple days/nights and they provide a luxurious Christmas meal on Christmas Day. Starting at $194/night.
Christmas in the Canyon's backcountry. From the South Rim you can hike the 7-mile trek down the South Kaibab trail or the 9.5-mile hike down the Bright Angel trail, to stay at Phantom Ranch or Bright Angel Campground. You need to get a permit and reserve your space prior. If you don't get a permit, or want to go last minute, keep calling to check on canceled reservations and you may luck out. Pack for snow and ice, with warm clothing and crampons for your hiking boots. This is the ultimate adventurer's Christmas!

Briar Patch Inn is the #1 Ranked B&B in AZ since 2011 and has received Trip Advisor's Certificate of Excellence
The Briar Patch Inn features 19 cabins situated on 9 lush acres in Oak Creek Canyon, just 3 miles north of Sedona. Each individual cabin is dressed in distinctly different southwestern decor. The lush grounds - home to wildlife, birds, and two resident sheep - showcase rambling walking paths, canyon oaks, giant pines, and sycamores, all providing the perfect setting to nurture your relationship with nature. Healthy, bountiful, homemade breakfasts are offered by the creek in spring and summer and by the lodge fireplaces in fall and winter. An attentive, longtime staff strives to provide a quality of fine service that is the hallmark of this "magical" sanctuary. A Fodor's Choice and a Frommer's favorite.
