Happy First Day of Summer

On the first day of summer,  Paradise Meadows still has a lot of snow, and a mixture of sun & cloud. The temperature at the meadows elevation of 1100 m. is usually about 5-6 degrees cooler than down in the Valley.

Last year the snow disappeared off the boardwalk by about the first week of July. This year, the guided nature walk programs start a bit later than last year, in the hopes of avoiding the snow. Here is a link to the poster showing the summer schedule of programs - print a copy & keep it handy, or check this blog for regular reminders & updates.
