Wear breathable light colored clothes. Long tan or khaki breathable shorts. Here’s an idea for the men who like pockets.

Women can opt for moisture wicking hiking shorts with UV protection.

UV protection will be important during the summer and you can find short sleeve shirts (Women) with pockets in tan or khaki as well (men). Nylon is also a good choice.

Even in the winter, you may find you need protection from the sun and a great hat makes the hike more comfortable.

If you have really good, comfortable running shoes, those might be fine. If you prefer a hiking shoe with more grip, those are a nice choice too. You may want to break them in before your trip.

While it’s rarely freezing in Grand Canyon, temperatures can drop to the mid-’30s. If you are visiting in the winter, you’ll want a great pair of cargo pants (men) (women). You might also consider a windproof jacket.

Don’t forget the lightweight backpack and bring a lot of water and sunscreen. Even on a cloudy day, you can get burned.
