What April feels like
The interior roads reopen in stages through April, starting with the west and south approaches, and the schedule shifts every year with the snowpack. Bison calves — the red dogs — start appearing late in the month, and the roads are quiet enough that you can stop for them without anyone leaning on a horn.
Winter is doing its thing: 7.8 in of snow in a typical April, with fresh snow on about 6 days. about 23 nights dip below freezing.
