Remember conditions on the mountain can change quickly! When planning a visit, always check weather forecasts, bring the 10 essentials (including food, water, and warm clothing), and know how to navigate if you encounter snow-covered trails at higher elevations.

For those that have already visited, what was the highlight of fall for you this season?

I love the rainfall on the women of distant meadows. I love the glittering water and the scent of stone.
