💡 Tips for Visitors

Public transportation to the park is limited, so renting a car is highly recommended for exploring multiple areas. The best visiting seasons are late spring through autumn (May-October), as heavy snow closes many roads and trails in winter. Bring cash as many mountain lodges, trailheads, and small villages in the area do not accept credit cards or have limited ATM access.
