Short self-guided trails are marked at each site. Pets are not permitted on these front country trails. ![]() NPS Four backcountry hiking trails access more remote sites and features. Free permits are available at the Visitor Center and at all trailheads. All sites and trails are open from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. (May 1-October 31), 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Nov 1-Feb 28), and 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. (Mar 1-Apr 30). Pets are permitted on backcountry trails as long as they are on leashes no longer than 6 feet. Pet owners must clean up after their animals. Ranger programs are offered throughout the year, but are dependant on staffing. April through October, night sky programs and telescope viewing of the spectacular dark night sky are offered.
