What January feels like
This is the one stretch of the year you can drive the Scenic Drive yourself instead of riding the shuttle, and it changes the whole trip. Shaded trails hold ice for weeks — the chains on Angels Landing are genuinely dangerous now, and the Narrows is a drysuit-rental proposition.
Expect about 5 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. about 18 nights dip below freezing.
