Zion Narrows
Hi,
we're in Zion in the first week of May. I know that noone knows at this time if hiking the narrows is possible then. But I guess the amount of snow that came down in the winter in Zion plays an important role (less snow that melts - less water).
So my question:
How is the winter in Zion this year? Was there heavy snow or not that much?
Thanks
Richie

I don't live as close to Zion as Tanya, but I agree. It's been the driest, warmest Utah winter that I can remember.
Northern Utah has recieved HALF it's normal snowfall, I'm sure Zion's statistics are similar...

So, if there are not a lot of thunderstorms and rain coming down end the end of April and beginning of May there's a good chance to hike the narrows in early May?

Did you read Bo's post? It's confirmed, but that does not work for the Chamberlain's Ranch start.
