If you are looking to go mid May as of right now # 36 lower pines is available 5/14 for up to 7 nights! Better move quickly if you want it! You have to start it 5/14, not later.

Remember that up to 7 days can be reserved, so it is possible that most of the first 6 days of the newly open days are already taken by people who reserved last month.

Snow is possible even in August. But you are unlikely to have a problem.

Yes, the trail should be open.

The Mist trail may be open, but it will be COLD going up, so don't go without raingear and warm clothes!
