Be prepared for winter conditions. Check avalanche and weather conditions prior to your visit to the backcountry.NOTE: As of June 2, 2008, there is about 11.5 feet of snow on the ground at Paradise (elev. 5,420 feet). The park received heavy snows this winter and spring with approximately 900 inches of snow at this point. This could lead to a late-lingering snowpack that may well affect the early hiking season in that it will make navigating early season hikes quite challenging. Avalanche danger will be a concern in early season as well.
