Plan outings around safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blooms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: April 2024
Winter
Follow designated snow paths and review avalanche risks before you head out. Keep pets leashed and steer clear of quiet zones.

Spring
Late spring brings blossoms to many valleys; steer clear of muddy edges to minimize trail widening, and hike at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glacier access, swim only in designated zones, and think about microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings lead to gentler hikes. Opt for quieter shelters and stay on well-used trails.
