We went into lockdown three weeks ago.  We could walk and ride bikes on the rim, but not below.  On the 15th, the acting super said locals can hike all the trails except Bass, because you have to cross the Supai Rez, and they are still closed, Marble Canyon, and the North Rim.  So we ran down to see the Redbuds.  

Note to self:  mid March is too early.  Only a few trees had started.  Mid April is too late.  Most of the trees had lost their blossoms and started to leaf out.  The three just below the Redwall were perfect.  
In March we met 300 people on this hike.  Today we saw four locals and one ranger.
