What April feels like

The Gathering of Nations, the largest powwow in North America, fills the city at the end of April and is worth timing a trip around. Spring wind is still about; locals check whether the Sandias look sharp or hazy before committing to a hike.

Real rain shows up about 2 days all month; the rest stay dry. The air runs dry — whatever the thermometer says, it wears easy.
