What to pack, what to skip

Pack for the next 7 days
  • A warm mid-layer and gloves for early mornings and evenings
  • Insulated outer layer, hat and boots with grip for ice
  • A packable rain shell - 5 of the next 7 days carry a real chance of rain
Worth avoiding
  • Avoid high-elevation trails without traction devices - frozen surfaces persist in shade all day.
  • Avoid exposed ridgelines, small boats and rooftop viewpoints while gusts stay above 52 mph.
  • Avoid swimming outside patrolled areas - waves are running at 2.2 m.
  • If your dates are flexible, avoid May, June and July - historically the least comfortable months here.
