Grand Canyon in Winter
Anyone ever camp in Grand Canyon during winter? I was thinking of going around Christmas and New Years. Thinking of camping at Mather CG and would luv to see the Canyon in snow.

It's great, spent Christmas 2015 at trailer village. On Xmas Eve and Day the crowds weren't bad. Day after Xmas, the line to the gate was 6 miles long. I was smiling, leaving before the rush. Mostly California and Nevada plates coming in.
There wasn't much snow in the canyon itself, but there was plenty around the buildings... They were short about half their parking spaces due to huge piles of snow.
There was no water fill available due to extreme cold. Days were in the teens with strong wind chill, nights below zero.
