What to pack

What May feels like

The heat arrives properly and finding shade becomes the entire strategy. Angels Landing permits run a day-before lottery as well as the seasonal one, so a late try isn't hopeless, and the Narrows is often still shut to high water.

Real rain shows up about 2 days all month; the rest stay dry. about 10 afternoons top 90°.
