It can snow, so be aware of that.
From the parks website:
"The SOUTH RIM is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Services are available and facilities are open year round.
Visitor services and facilities inside the national park on the NORTH RIM are only open from mid-May to mid-October. Weather permitting, the North Rim is open for day use only following the close of facilities in mid-October. During this time there are no services or overnight facilities available inside the park. The road from Jacob Lake to the North Rim (Highway 67) is subject to closure with little or no notice during this interval and then remains closed until mid-May."

The South Rim of the Grand Canyon is open in winter and its safe unless there is an unusual snow storm. The canyon is at 7,000 feet so it can snow. The drive to the Grand Canyon is 5 long hard hours on mostly two lane roads with trucks and campers (only a short way on I-40). You can drive there and back in one day if you leave early morning, like 6:00-7:00 AM. That will put you there about noon and you will have 4 or 5 hrs before starting back and getting back to Vegas about 11:00PM. I recommend staying overnight at the Canyon (there are plenty of motels near there, like Best Western, Ramada, Quality inns) and drive back the next day

Hi,,, hmm ,,, personally,, i think that the Grand Canyon Park is closed during the Winter.. but I suggest that you look up National Park Service online,, and see what they have to say....
It is up in the mountains, so it could be snowy up there..
good luck
