Pair activities with safer, lower-impact windows: avalanche checks in winter, blossoms in spring, cool mornings in summer, and quieter ridgelines in autumn.
Updated: April 2025
Winter
Follow mapped snow trails and review avalanche conditions ahead of your trip. Keep dogs leashed and steer clear of quiet zones.
Review safety bulletin
Spring
Late spring brings blooms to many valleys: steer clear of muddy edges to prevent trail widening, and hike at dawn for birdlife.
Summer
Begin early for glacier viewing, swim only in designated zones, and consider microspikes for early-season snowfields.
Autumn
Golden forests and cooler mornings invite calmer hikes. Opt for quieter shelters and stick to durable paths.
