Pack for the next 7 days
  • Layers - the daily swing is 77°F, so mornings feel nothing like afternoons
  • A warm mid-layer and gloves for early mornings and evenings
  • Insulated outer layer, hat and boots with grip for ice
Worth avoiding
  • Avoid high-elevation trails without traction devices - frozen surfaces persist in shade all day.
  • If your dates are flexible, avoid January, February and December - historically the least comfortable months here.
