Hey Hiker chick ,
I spoke with a friend who lives in " Page , Ariz ", who had previously work at a " Visitor Info Center ". He stated that the winter months weren't that difficult to find somewhere to stay.
We did call ahead a few days to get a reservation for our anticipated three day stay @ the " Grand Canyon " , which was almost full when we arrived.
However , many left due to the " really , really cold temperatures ".
We were surprised at bumping into another " Rv Camper " @ Wahweap campground that had also left the " Grand Canyon ".. They stated that their " Motor Home " heater wasn't working , so they also left, due to the extremely cold temps.
It was reportedly a " Record setting " cold night ..
We saw maybe four other " Campers / Rv'ers " @ Wahweap during our three day stay.
I was thrilled with our " Camp Site Location ( A - 7 )" view of the Lake.
Although , I was told it is very busy during the warmer , summer months , which would require a " Reservation ", well in advance !
The place had very clean restrooms , with " Showers & Washers / Dryers " located next to the Campground Store . We did our laundry before leaving.
We decided at the last minute , to spend one night in " Page " (Best Western Hotel, which was half empty) for " New Years Eve "; dinner, along with a few drinks.
I had a good time , but really need to do more than just " Sight See ".. I'm more into " Hiking around / Fishing " type of person.
Unfortunately the " Snow & Wind " made it almost impossible to do.
I fell down twice on the " Mather Point " walkway, which had iced over, right next to the ** low ** knee high guard rail.
I'm holding onto the guard rail , standing on the walkway , on a solid sheet of ice , not snow !!
My girlfriend fell several times at our campsite, while walking to the restroom .. She wasn't a very happy camper, with slipping around in the freezing weather, & having an immediate need to " Tinkle " .. !
I'm not afraid of much, but I couldn't see myself foolishly sliding off & down the Canyon cliffs , into the
River below..
Thats not my idea of " Fishing "..
