What to pack

What April feels like

The ocotillo tips go red and the desert does its best work right before it shuts down for summer. This is the last stretch where a midday walk in Saguaro West is a pleasure rather than a project; after this, everything moves to sunrise.

Real rain shows up maybe one day all month; the rest stay dry. The air runs dry — whatever the thermometer says, it wears easy. about 8 afternoons top 90°.
