I'm afraid you might find very cold temps at the North Rim in April, and you
will probably find snow. Dress warm. I am not sure, you should look in to
this, but the North Rim might not even be open that time of year. With Fed
budget cuts and that sort of thing, they may close the North Rim in winter.
The North Rim, even in summer, gets way less visitors than the South Rim.

The North Rims is considerably higher than the South Rim, so it will be
colder. Sedona is even lower than the South Rim, and the region is generally
warmer so you should find mild temps that time of year.
