Hi, what type of clothing should i pack for Grand Canyon amp; Yosemite during late Dec? Thanks!? -

Of course you need to dress in layers and you need to be prepared for very cold ,very windy , very snowy and very sunny when it isn t snowingBtw Current Grand Canyon AZ 86023 weatherH 32F L 5F and sunny

Layered and very warm with a good heavy coat. The Canyon is in winter in AZ and UT, so you might be warm in day but once you are in the shade or at night it will be very cold.

Think cold. remember the Grand Canyon rims are 7000 and 8000 feet above sea level. Yosemite, in the valley is 4000 feet and other accessible areas range up to over 8000. Cold.

In addition to the layers that other people suggested, bring boots, sunscreen, and either sunglasses or a hat.
