Hiking Trails
All hiking trails are open in the park, however access can be limited due to road closure. Trails can have snow, snow patches, or ice. Use caution.

Most trails are at high altitude, and have steep elevation gains.
Be watchful for signs of altitude sickness. If you are feeling sick, descend in altitude. Due to the high altitude, sun exposure can be factor, and bring hats and sunscreen.

Monitor weather and wear proper clothing (pack for winter weather). When hiking at high altitude be prepared for snow storms. Temperatures and visibility can drop rapidly during the wind and storm events.

Check sunset times as the east side of the mountain will have low light even in early afternoon.

Please use the trail registers to document your hikes.
