Thinking about the 2-3 week in July.
Will the temps be manageable during the day?
Can an active 7 Y.O. handle a lot of the trails and hikes?
We have been to Yellowstone, Destin, Mt Rushmore/Custer area so we're use to the being around crowds, will it be comparable?
Manageable but Hot, and warmer still as you hike down into the Canyon.
As with any 7 year old they usually will outlast you - but - if they are not having fun they tend to get tired FAST.
If you need to be away from the crowds - get up early - and once the crowds show up head East - as I recall not as many People the further you get from the Main Entrance, and IMHO, every minute there is Amazing.
If you have been to Yellowstone, you can likely handle the crowds.
