Just a thought.  If you defer until December, you can probably get a nice
suite at the El Tovar, no hiking, no watching thousands of foreign tourists
about to fall off the edge while posing, maybe a little snow.  Just chilling
out for a while.  We were snowed in at the El Tovar for about three days
once in January.  Nice, although the food and wine selection sucked.  Bring
your own Scotch definitely. Personally, I would rather be in Santa Fe then.
