Good Morning,

​Cap clouds are having their way with the higher peaks this Sunday morning, but aren’t expected to win the fight. Should be a sunny day for hikers to enjoy the wilderness up high and down low. Temps will feel stellar at all elevations as well, with high readings coming in round the lower 60s at the lodge this afternoon. Breezy conditions will persist, so folks might appreciate having that extra layer for sitting around at the top once the body has cooled down from ascension exertion. Monday looks to be another stunning day for outdoor ramblings before we get into a week mixed with sunshine and isolated storm chances. A thermometer ranging from 40s to 60s will be the norm over the coming days.

Reminder that even as we approach a new month and begin to bridge the gap between spring and summer, our hours of service remain the same as they have since we opened our doors in late March. Overnight guest meals are 6:00 PM for supper and 8:00 AM for breakfast, with ample time to fill up on the fixin’s and catch a relaxing sunrise or sunset. For day hikers, the gift shop (currently located in the dining hall) is still open from 9:00-10:00 AM and again from 12:00-4:30 PM. This allows the early hikers a chance to snag some souvenirs without disrupting the overnight guest breakfast, and then it reopens for peak visitor traffic and guest check-in during the afternoon. The dining hall and gift shop are closed between 10:00 AM and noon because our hard working crew require that time to get the dining hall, numerous guest cabins, and restroom facilities cleaned up and reorganized. Thank you for respecting what our dedicated staff must do for our paying overnight guests while you plan your visits to the mountain accordingly if garnering some lodge memorabilia or savory snacks is on your wishlist.

Have a great day.
