What May feels like
May is when the foothill trails above the university dry out and the Bonneville Shoreline gets busy in the evenings. The Saturday market at Pioneer Park opens for the season, and the peaks stay white above a valley that has gone completely green.
Expect about 5 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. The air runs dry — whatever the thermometer says, it wears easy.
