What April feels like
The park wakes up: more shuttles, more rangers, more people, and the rim trails finally dry out. Nights still drop below freezing, so anyone camping at Mather wants a warmer bag than the afternoon suggests. The North Rim stays closed until the middle of May.
Winter is doing its thing: 2.8 in of snow in a typical April, with fresh snow on maybe one day. about 22 nights dip below freezing.
