Las Vegas and canyons in february-march
Hi, I'm part of this forum for many years but I think this is my first message. I'm french speaking so a little uneasy with my written english, that's why I was discreet!
I'm planning a trip to Vegas with my husband and 5 children (well, young adults now as they are 17 to 26 years old and its very hard to have them all available for a trip, it will be a grand premiere since many many years!). The only problem is that it has to be from february 25th to march 5th and I'm a little insecure with the temperature in the canyons at that time.
We want to go in Zion, Bryce, Antelope canyons, Monument Valley and Grand Canyon. Plan A was to reserve houses at each place, which is done, and a 12 seats van to put everyone and their luggage. But, as we are camping lovers, I thought also (plan B) about renting a motorhome, which would solve a few headaches about planification of meals and luggages packing/unpacking.
My question : is it realistic, knowing it can be very cold and snowy at that time of the year in places like Bryce Canyon and Grand Canyon. Some campgrounds are closed, others are "first come, first served" (which stress me a little also), are the trails are opened to walk in the canyons. I know some parts of the canyons are closed at that time also.
So, do you have any experience, or advices about it? Plan A or plan B? Or "go elsewhere, you wont have fun at that time of the year" ?
Thanks a lot!
