What April feels like
The first week can feel like spring and the last can feel like a warning. Hike Golden Canyon and the Mesquite Flat dunes at first light, and save Dante's View for the afternoon, since it sits high enough above the valley floor to be a different day altogether.
Rain is genuinely rare — most years, April stays dry start to finish. about 18 afternoons top 90°.
