I'm camping there (not in the park because I couldn't get a spot) for my first time in late May. I hope the snow mostly melts by then!

I don't know much about how the snow hangs around there but they got record amounts, enough to close the park not long ago. Hopefully it is at least more manageable for ya when you go! Good luck!

Other than along the north-facing walls and along shaded river banks, the snow doesn't generally hang out for too long in the valley given it's not all that high in elevation.

*enough to completely close the park at the end of February and keep it closed until last weekend, when it partially reopened with limited roads. Be safe, the snow will melt and swell the creeks!

Given this winter season, it’s going gorgeous. All the falls, lakes and rivers will be flowing full. Expect a lot of closures due to excessive water / snow. Also expect a slightly busier than normal season. Overall, you got quite the epic trip coming up, super stoked for you!

Where are y’all staying? My group was slow on the uptick, so we’re just doing lodging right now.

Hope it doesn't, and when you're camping it drops a couple of inches. it's beautiful....
