Grand Canyon. I've visited it twice. Once in the first week of November, once on the last week of Feb/ first week of March.
North Rim will be closed.
South Rim will be open. There will likely be some snow on the ground. But unless there is a winter storm just before/ during your trip, the roads will be open.
Hiking, some parts of the Bright Angel Trail never see sunlight - especially the steep parts nears the start of the trail. They will have ice on the trail.
They sell pitons - those spikey things that clamp over your hiking shoes - at the store in the park. The mules shoes actually have spikes on them also.
Many people hike without difficulty into the canyon through the ice. Just be careful.
Zion should be fine either way. We are planning to camp there for a week in mid-Feb.
