PHOENIX — We're in the midst of spring break season, which means more tourists at the Grand Canyon.

We're also on the tail end of winter, which means there's ice and people sliding around up there.

Folks at Grand Canyon National Park shared some harrowing photos that show the potential dangers of the canyon this time of year in vivid detail. Though the black socks might be as big as big a concern as the ice is.

Hours earlier, the Grand Canyon National Park's Twitter handle warned visitors about the crush of crowds they are expecting this season.

To summarize: Avoid the area unless you like treacherous hiking conditions or busloads of spring breakers.
