What to pack

What April feels like

Cottonwoods leaf out along the Virgin and the canyon floor goes bright green against the red rock. Runoff usually closes the Narrows sometime this month or next, so check the flow before you drive out; Angels Landing needs a permit either way.

Expect about 3 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around.
