Angels Landing

The biggest thing to flag is tonight's low of 31°F at Zion canyon floor — that's a hard freeze, so tent condensation and water bottle management matter. Tuesday and Wednesday warm up nicely to 60°F and 66°F respectively with essentially no precip chance (3% both days). Wednesday night clouds return with 11% precip, but you'll be packing out Thursday morning ahead of anything meaningful. The slight chance of rain showers today (19%) and tonight (15%) are low-confidence, low-intensity events — not storm-level activity.

Stream flows in the region are right at or below median across all five gauges. Nothing here suggests any crossing difficulty. The Virgin River at Zion runs seasonal fluctuations, and with gauges sitting at 78–102% of median and stable-to-rising trends, you're well within normal spring range. No snowmelt spike concern either — overnight lows are freezing, which limits daytime melt contribution to flows. Crossings are a non-issue this trip.

The snowpack data in the raw feed is from California SNOTEL stations and doesn't apply to Zion. Angels Landing sits around 5,790 ft at the summit — at this point in late April, with daytime highs in the 60s, any remaining snow on the route will be patchy at most, likely just shaded north-facing ledges near the chains section. Expect some wet rock if those afternoon showers materialize today, which matters on the exposed chain sections. If you're hitting the chains today, go before any afternoon moisture moves through.

With 13.5 hours of daylight and sunset at 8:18 PM, you've got a massive weather window each day. No fires within 50 miles means clean air and no access concerns. This is a straightforward, low-stress trip — the main discipline is an early start Tuesday and Wednesday to beat afternoon foot traffic on the chains and catch the best light on the summit.
