Grand Canyon News

Are we Arizonans obstinate as mules, or what?  Back in the fall, we said, “we won’t back down.”  Well, we won’t “spring forward,” either!  

Just a friendly (and short) reminder as we make the jump to Daylight Savings Time, travellers: Arizona is on Mountain Standard Time year-round.  Of course, to every rule, there is an exception, and there is one here: the Navajo Indian Reservation DOES observe daylight savings time.  This would matter a great deal to those of you who are leaving Grand Canyon National Park headed for places like Monument Valley, Navajo National Monument or Canyon de Chelly.  These destinations will be one hour ahead.  So if you’re leaving Grand Canyon and doing a horseback ride in Monument Valley or perhaps a jeep tour of Canyon de Chelly when you arrive in the area, remember you’ll have to leave one hour early.  Same thing applies if you’re heading to Utah, Colorado or New Mexico. 

Confused?  Remember this one sentence that will bail you out of any quandary that comes your way on your Grand Canyon vacation: “WHEN IN DOUBT, CHECK IT OUT!”
