available Monday through
Friday. Beginning May 1,
backcountry permits will require a fee and boat permits and entrance passes
will be available at the permits desk seven days a week. Entrance passes can
also be obtained at entrance stations at any time.
A recent storm has brought over 55 inches of new snow since March 1st. Climbing conditions will remain problematic as the snow settles and begins to bond to the underlying layers.
