Morning mists frequently shroud the shelter before burning off to reveal spectacular views. Fall transforms the surrounding hardwood forests into a tapestry of gold and crimson, while early season hikers may encounter lingering snow patches well into May. Weather can change rapidly at this elevation, making proper gear essential year-round.
