Season by Season Breakdown
Planning around weather is critical when visiting high mountains or gorges.
- Spring (April - June): Lush valleys and full rivers. Peak flow rates for waterfalls/canyons, but early season passes may have snow.
- Summer (July - August): Fully dry routes and clear blue water. Very hot at midday, requiring early morning starts.
- Autumn (September - October): Golden colors, quietest trails, and dry roads. Highly recommended for experienced hikers.
- Winter (November - March): Rugged snow conditions, heavy rain, and mud. Unpaved access tracks are frequently impassable. Only attempt in a custom 4x4.
