Is early April a good or bad time to visit? Looking for longer day hikes. Will snow/ice be a problem and prevent me from the 'total' experience? Thanks for replies!
I am considering a trip to the Southern Utah Nat. Parks in April or Early May. I want to go anytime but the mass road trip months that are really hot. If I may suggest a book to read before you visit or for when on the trip. Check out the book "Desert Solitaire," by Edward Abbey. It is an account of his time as a park ranger in Arches National Park before it was a National Park. It will open your eyes to American outback issues and culture. Cheers! Bryant

I went on New Year's day a couple years ago and practically had the place to myself. It was relatively warm - in the 50s - so with a light jacket or sweatshirt you should be fine during the day. PLEASE NOTE: someone should always know where you are and when to expect your return. You should contact the visitor's bureau for information on non-park trails. Do not consult just any map and hike down an unknown "trail". A couple got lost recently for 5 days and the woman died of exposure. Be careful, make informed decisions, and have fun!

That was exactly the time of year I made my first trip, and it was wonderful. Seeing the rocks tipped with snow is real special!

The roads should have some cars on them and are in good condition. As long as you don't mind driving for up to 5 hour... more
