Safety Notes
- Wear approriate clothing and footwear for wet and slippery conditions on trails. Be prepared!
-
Small children require close adult supervision, particularly off trail and around water.
-
You MUST be prepared with proper gear before your hikes: proper treaded winter footwear, head lamp and extra clothing if venturing out on extended hikes. Let someone know where you are going. Carry a fully charged cell phone and plan for darkness and dropping temperatures.
- Know before you go! The gondola is subject to unscheduled closures due to weather. Check our website, or check in with Guest Services if the gondola is part of your hiking plan. You need to be prepared for a 2-way hike. Use extra diligence during weather events, including forecasted outflow winds.
- Expect high water in creeks and river beds. Possible bridge wash-outs, and difficult or impossible creek crossings. Supervise children and pets closely. Be aware of sink holes and snow bridges near creeks and bodies of water, as well as collapsing snow on the banks of creeks at the upper-most elevations.
- Please note that for safety reasons drones may not access the gondola
